Musnad Ahmad 10963

Translation

✧ My example and your example, O community, is like a man who kindled a fire at night, and moths and creatures that rush into fire came to it. He began to drive them away, and they overcame him, plunging into the fire. I am holding onto your waists, calling you to Paradise, and you overcome me, plunging into the fire.
