حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَجَعَلَ الْجَنَادِبُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهُنَّ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَفَلَّتُونَ مِنْ يَدِي ‏"‏ .

English translation
Jabir b. Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. My example and your example is that of a person who lit the fire and insects and moths began to fall in it and he would be making efforts to take them out, and I am going to hold you back from fire, but you are slipping from my hand
বাংলা অনুবাদ
মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু হাতিম (রহঃ) ..... জাবির (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমার উপমা ও তোমাদের উপমা সে লোকের উপমার মতো যে আগুন জ্বালালো, ফলে ফড়িং দল আর পতঙ্গ তাতে ঝাপিয়ে পড়তে লাগল আর সে লোক তাদের তা থেকে বিতাড়িত করতে লাগল। আমিও আগুন থেকে রক্ষার জন্য তোমাদের কোমরবন্ধ ধরে টানছি, আর তোমরা আমার হাত থেকে ছুটে যাচ্ছ। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৭৫৯, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
