Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated to me, Ibn Mahdi narrated to us, Salim narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Mina', from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My example and your example is like the example of a man who kindled a fire, and the locusts and moths began falling into it, while he was shooing them away from it. And I am holding you back by your waistbands from the Fire, while you are slipping away from my hand."
