باب شَفَقَتِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ وَمُبَالَغَتِهِ فِي تَحْذِيرِهِمْ مِمَّا يَضُرُّهُمْ:Chapter: His Compassion Towards His Ummah, And His Intense Concern To Warn Them Against That Which May Harm Them
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا ، فَجَعَلَ الْجَنَادِبُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا ، وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهُنَّ عَنْهَا ، وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَفَلَّتُونَ مِنْ يَدِي " .
Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. My example and your example is that of a person who lit the fire and insects and moths began to fall in it and 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.
