The Beloved Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam once said;

My example compared to you is that of a person who enlightens a fire. The moths and insects begin to fall into that fire and the man tries to prevent them. I am holding your waists in order to save you from (falling into) the hell-fire and you want to overcome me.
