user72: I have read it somewhere and can't remember now. Buddha told Bhikkus that he never admires a disiple who stops his effort after attaining "sotapanna" state. He should still work hard until he is completely clean and attains Arhat status.

user-1: The thing you are looking for is probably a misinterpretation of this passage from Maha-Parinibbana Sutta:

... among these five hundred bhikkhus even the lowest is a
  stream-enterer, secure from downfall, assured, and bound for
  enlightenment."

And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish.
  Strive with heedfulness!"


Handa dani bhikkhave amantayami vo: Vayadhamma sankhara appamadena sampadetha.

And this one in regards to Samsara:

“Just as even a little dung stinks, so I do not recommend even a
  little becoming, not for so much as a finger snap”
