Be mindful of your actions ; Strive for righteousness ; Stay away from sinning ; Listen to guidance given by Allah SWT through His Messenger PBUH .

This hadith speaks of how Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was trying to protect people from falling into the fire of Hell. He likened himself to a man who made a fire and when it lit up what was around it, moths and other insects started falling into it. The man tried his best to prevent them but they overpowered him and rushed in anyway. Similarly, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said he takes hold of the knots at people's waists in order to prevent them from falling into Hellfire but they insist on doing so anyway. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions as we are ultimately responsible for our own salvation or damnation. We should strive for righteousness and stay away from sinning as much as possible in order to ensure that we do not fall prey to our own desires and end up in Hellfire despite all efforts by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ or anyone else for that matter.
