حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ کَمَثَلِ الزَّرْعِ لَا تَزَالُ الرِّيَاحُ تُفَيِّئُهُ وَلَا يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ بَلَائٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ مَثَلُ شَجَرَةِ الْأَرْزِ لَا تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّی تُسْتَحْصَدَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2866
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The parable of the believer is like the plant; the wind does not stop causing it to sway, and the believer does not stop suffering trials. The parable of the hypocrite is that of a cedar tree, it does not give in until it is cut down.
