Jami at-Tirmidhi 2874 (Book 44, Hadith 17) #28522
Staying Away From Fire

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is comparing himself to a man who lit a fire, and he is trying to prevent people from getting too close to it.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "The Parable of myself and that of my Ummah is that of a man who kindled a fire, and the flies and moths began flying into it - and I am trying to prevent you from diving into it".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ أُمَّتِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَجَعَلَتِ الذُّبَابُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَأَنَا آخُذُ بِحُجَزِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَقَحَّمُونَ فِيهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) compares himself and his Ummah to a man who lit a fire. He is warning us not to get too close or dive into the fire. This parable serves as an analogy for staying away from things that are bad for us such as sinning or engaging in activities that are prohibited in Islam. It also teaches us that we should be careful about what we do and how we act because our actions have consequences. We should strive to stay away from anything that could lead us astray or cause harm in any way. The Prophet Muhammad's message here is clear - stay away from the fire!
