حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ مُحْرِزٍ قَالَ: قَالَ جُنْدُبٌ:
مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعِظُ وَيَنْسَى نَفْسَهُ، مَثَلُ الْمِصْبَاحِ يُضِيءُ لِغَيْرِهِ وَيَحْرِقُ نَفْسَهُ، لِيُبْصِرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَجْعَلُ فِي بَطْنِهِ، فَإِنَّ الدَّابَّةَ إِذَا مَاتَتْ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا يَنْفَتِقُ مِنْهَا بَطْنُهَا، وَلْيَتَّقِ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ مِلْءُ كَفٍّ مِنْ دَمِ مُسْلِمٍ

The likeness of the one who admonishes others and forgets himself is like that of a lamp that gives light to others while burning itself. Let each of you look to what he puts into his belly, for when an animal dies, the first thing that bursts open is its belly. And let each of you beware of a handful of a Muslim's blood coming between him and Paradise.
