The Similitude of a believer is that of (a standing) crop which the air continues to toss from one side to another; in the same way a believer always (receives the strokes) of misfortune. The similitude of a hypocrite is that of a cypress tree which does not move until it is uprooted.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَنُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مِثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِثَلُ الزَّرْعِ لَا تَزَالُ الرِّيحُ تُفِيئُهُ وَلَا يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ الْبَلَاءُ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مِثَلُ شَجَرَةِ الْأُرْزِ لَا تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّى تُسْتَحْصَدَ»
