It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My example and your example is like that of a person who kindles a fire and moths and butterflies begin to fall into it from here and there, and he keeps them away from it. In the same way, I am holding you by your waist to save you from Hell, but you are slipping away from my hands.
