حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلِي، وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ، أَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَجَعَلَ الْفَرَاشُ، وَالْجَنَادِبُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا، وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهُنَّ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ، وَأَنْتُمْ، ، تَفَلَّتُونَ مِنْ يَدِي " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: My example and your example is like that of a person who kindles a fire and moths and butterflies begin to fall into it from here and there, and he keeps them away from it. In the same way, I am holding you by your waist to save you from Hell, but you are slipping away from my hands.
