We request an explanation of the hadith of Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The Shaykh : The questioner asked, requesting an explanation of this hadith: From Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ?
This is a wonderful and exquisite depiction as an interpretation of the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) regarding His Prophet: . Look at how the Messenger (peace be upon him) depicted his relationship with his Ummah, saying: . So the insects you see flying and hovering around the light are devoured by the fire. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) depicted people in general, all of humanity, as this moth that rushes into the fire and is destroyed and burned. He depicted himself as the one who drives these people away and prevents them from falling into the Fire. And it is not merely verbal driving away; rather, he is holding their sides—by the waist, meaning the waist here—and pulling them toward himself so that they do not fall into the Fire. This is from his tenderness (peace and blessings be upon him) and his mercy toward the believers. But what do people do? Of course, he is referring to those who do not believe. He said: “And you are slipping out of my hand,” even though he is holding their waists and pulling them so they do not fall into the Fire. So many people slip away from him and fall into the Fire.
And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari: . We said: Who refuses, O Messenger of Allah? He said: . So these are the ones who slip away from him. Who are they? They are the sinners, those who do not obey the Messenger (peace be upon him) and do not respond to his warning (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him).
