Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of the one who falls into the limits of Allah and the one who is lax concerning them is like that of the people of a ship who cast lots over the upper and lower parts of the ship. Those in the lower part would fetch water from those above. They would pass by them, and those above would be troubled. Those above said: 'You pour water on us, which troubles us.' The narrator said: Those below took an axe and began to break (a hole in) the ship. Those above said: 'What are you doing?' If they leave them to what they intend, they will all perish, and if they hold them by their hands, they will all be saved."
