Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, my example and the example of that with which Allah has sent me is like a man who comes to his people and says: O my people! I have seen an army (approaching), and I am warning you (i.e., I am alerting you), so a group from his people obeys him, and they quietly leave and are saved, while another group denies him. They remain in their place, and in the morning the enemy attacks them and destroys them and ruins them. So this is the example of the one who obeys me and follows what I have brought, and the example of the one who disobeys me and denies the truth which I have brought."
