Narrated Abu Huraira (رضى الله عنه): The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“The parable of a believer is that of a crop which is tossed by the air from one side to another; in the same way a believer always (receives some) misfortune. The parable of a hypocrite is that of a cypress tree which does not move until it is uprooted.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 039, Number 6742]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏“‏ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الزَّرْعِ لاَ تَزَالُ الرِّيحُ تُمِيلُهُ وَلاَ يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ الْبَلاَءُ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ شَجَرَةِ الأَرْزِ لاَ تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّى تَسْتَحْصِدَ ‏”
