[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The example of the one who upholds the limits of Allah and the one who transgresses them is like a people who boarded a ship. Some of them settled in the lower deck, and some settled in the upper deck. Whenever those in the lower deck needed water, they had to pass by those in the upper deck, so they troubled them by saying, 'If we drill a hole in our portion, we can have our water without troubling those on the upper deck.' If they left those on the upper deck and let them do as they pleased, all of them would drown. However, if they took hold of their hands, they would all be saved."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللهِ وَالْوَاقِعِ فِيهَا الْمُدَّهِنِ فِيهَا مَثَلُ قَوْمٍ رَكِبُوا سَفِينَةً فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا وَأَوْعَرَهَا وَشَرَّهَا وَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا فَكَانَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا إِذَا اسْتَقَوْا الْمَاءَ مَرُّوا عَلَى مَنْ فَوْقَهُمْ فَآذَوْهُمْ فَقَالُوا لَوْ خَرَقْنَا فِي نَصِيبِنَا خَرْقًا فَاسْتَقَيْنَا مِنْهُ وَلَمْ نُؤْذِ مَنْ فَوْقَنَا فَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُمْ وَأَمْرَهُمْ هَلَكُوا جَمِيعًا وَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ نَجَوْا جَمِيعًا
