Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19911a
"مثَلِى كمثَلِ رجُل اسْتَوْقَد نَارًا فَلما أَضَاءَتْ ما حْولَهَا، جعل الْفَراشُ وهذِهِ الدوابُّ التي يقَعْن في النار يقَعْن فِيهَا، وجعل يحْجِزُهُن ويغْلِبْنَه فَيقْتَحِمْن فِيهَا (فَذَلِكَ مَثَلي ومثَلُكُم أَنَا آخذٌ بحُجُزِكُم عن النارِ هَلُمَّ عن النارِ، هَلُمَّ عن النارِ، فَيغْلِبُونِى فَيقْتَحِمُونَ فِيهَا) ".

"My example is like the example of a man who kindled a fire. When it lit up what was around it, the moths and these creatures that fall into the fire began to fall into it, and he kept trying to hold them back, but they overpowered him and plunged into it. (So that is my example and yours: I am holding you by your waistbands away from the Fire, come away from the Fire, come away from the Fire; but they overpower me and plunge into it.)"
