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 " .
