Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3275 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The example

وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا ، فَجَعَلَتْ هَذِهِ الدَّوَابُّ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهِ ، وَيَزَعُهُنَّ عَنْهَا ، وَيَقْتَحِمْنَ فِيهَا ، وَإِنِّي آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ ، هَلُمُّوا عَنِ النَّارِ ، هَلُمُّوا عَنِ النَّارِ ، فَتَغْلِبُونِي ، فَتَقْتَحِمُونَ فِيهَا .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِمَا : مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of me and you is like that of a man who lit a fire, and insects and moths began to fall into it; he keeps driving them away from the fire, but they forcibly rush into it. In the same way I am holding you by your waists (waist-wrappers) to stop you: 'Come away from the Fire, come away from the Fire!' But you overpower me and keep rushing into it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated these two hadiths from Habib bin Salim except Muhammad bin Sa'd, and Muhammad bin Fudayl is alone in narrating them both."
