5644. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allāh removes his difficulties). And Al-Fājir (an impious wicked evildoer) is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allāh cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadīth No.7466, Vol. 9.)

5644 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ المُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ المُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ، مِنْ حَيْثُ أَتَتْهَا الرِّيحُ كَفَأَتْهَا، فَإِذَا اعْتَدَلَتْ تَكَفَّأُ بِالْبَلاَءِ، وَالفَاجِرُ كَالأَرْزَةِ، صَمَّاءَ مُعْتَدِلَةً، حَتَّى يَقْصِمَهَا اللَّهُ إِذَا شَاءَ»
