English translation

[7095] 60 - (...) It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Ka'b bin Mâlik that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The likeness of the believer is that of a fresh, tender plant which is bent by the wind; the wind bends it flat sometimes and pushes it upright sometimes, until his appointed time comes. And the likeness of the hypocrite is that of a stiff cedar which is not affected by anything, until it is uprooted in one go.”

Arabic text

60 - (2810) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ، تُفِيئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ، تَصْرَعُهَا مَرَّةً وَتَعْدِلُهَا، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ الَّتِي لَا يُصِيبُهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً»،
