Parable of the Prophet Sunnah ﷺ holding people back from the fire while they rush toward it
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My example and your example is that of a person who lit the fire and insects and moths began to fall in it. He would be making efforts to take them out, and I am going to hold you back from fire, but you are slipping from my hand."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا، فَجَعَلَ الْجَنَادِبُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهُنَّ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَفَلَّتُونَ مِنْ يَدِي».
