The similitude of mine and that of my Umma is that of a person who lit fire and there began to fall into it insects and moths. And I am there to hold you back, but you plunge into it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ أُمَّتِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَجَعَلَتِ الدَّوَابُّ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهِ فَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَقَحَّمُونَ فِيهِ  

Abu Huraira reported us some ahadith from Messenger of Allah ﷺ amongst many, (and) one is this that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A person lit fire and when the atmosphere was aglow, moths and insects began to fall into the fire, but I am there to hold them back, but they are plunging into it despite my efforts, and he further added: That is your example and mine. I am there to hold you back from fire and to save you from it, but you are plunging into it despite my efforts.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَثَلِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهَا جَعَلَ الْفَرَاشُ وَهَذِهِ الدَّوَابُّ الَّتِي فِي النَّارِ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَجَعَلَ يَحْجُزُهُنَّ وَيَغْلِبْنَهُ فَيَتَقَحَّمْنَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَذَلِكُمْ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ أَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ هَلُمَّ عَنِ النَّارِ هَلُمَّ عَنِ النَّارِ فَتَغْلِبُونِي تَقَحَّمُونَ فِيهَا  

The similitude of mine and that of my Umma is that of a person who lit fire and there began to fall into it insects and moths. And I am there to hold you back, but you plunge into it. (Using translation from Muslim 2284a)   

إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ النَّاسِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ جَعَلَ الْفَرَاشُ وَالدَّوَابُّ تَتَقَحَّمُ فِيهَا فَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَوَاقَعُونَ فِيهَا  

Abu Huraira reported us some ahadith from Messenger of Allah ﷺ amongst many, (and) one is this that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A person lit fire and when the atmosphere was aglow, moths and insects began to fall into the fire, but I am there to hold them back, but they are plunging into it despite my efforts, and he further added: That is your example and mine. I am there to hold you back from fire and to save you from it, but you are plunging into it despite my efforts. (Using translation from Muslim 2284c)  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَنَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهَا جَعَلَ الْفَرَاشُ وَهَذِهِ الدَّوَابُّ الَّتِي يَقَعْنَ فِي النَّارِ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَجَعَلَ يَحْجِزُهُنَّ وَيَغْلِبْنَهُ فَيتَقَحَّمْنَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَذَلِكُمْ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ أَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ هَلُمَّ عَنِ النَّارِ هَلُمَّ عَنِ النَّارِ فَتَغْلِبُونِي تَقَحَّمُونَ فِيهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My example and the example of the people is like that of a man who kindled a fire. When it illuminated around him, the insects and moths started rushing into it. He tried to drive them away from it, but I am the one who is in control and holding onto the people. Come to paradise, come away from the fire, but they rush into it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ النَّاسِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ أَقْبَلَ خَشَاشُ الْأَرْضِ وَفَرَاشُهَا وَهَذِهِ الدَّوَابُّ الَّتِي تَقْتَحِمُ فِي النَّارَ فَتُقْتَحَمُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهَا عَنْهَا فَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ آخِذُ بِحُجَزِ النَّاسِ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ هَلُمُّوا عَنِ النَّارِ فَهُمْ يَقْتَحِمُونَ فِيهَا»  

"مثَلِى كمثَلِ رجُل اسْتَوْقَد نَارًا فَلما أَضَاءَتْ ما حْولَهَا، جعل الْفَراشُ وهذِهِ الدوابُّ التي يقَعْن في النار يقَعْن فِيهَا، وجعل يحْجِزُهُن ويغْلِبْنَه فَيقْتَحِمْن فِيهَا (فَذَلِكَ مَثَلي ومثَلُكُم أَنَا آخذٌ بحُجُزِكُم عن النارِ هَلُمَّ عن النارِ، هَلُمَّ عن النارِ، فَيغْلِبُونِى فَيقْتَحِمُونَ فِيهَا) ".
