Fudayl ibn ‘Iyādh [may Allāh bestow mercy upon him] said:

“Beware of directing others towards Allāh, whilst allowing yourself to become deprived of the [straight] path. Always seek refuge with Allāh, lest you become a bridge crossing; leading [others] to Paradise whilst you yourself will be cast into [the Fire of] Hell.”
