2866. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh 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." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢٨٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الزَّرْعِ لَا تَزَالُ الرِّيَاحُ تُفِيئُهُ» وَلَا يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ بَلَاءٌ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ مَثَلُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْأَرْزِ لَا تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّى تَسْتَحْصِدَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

A true believer always faces problems, difficulties and calamities for practising his religion; he gives up lots of benefits just for the sake of the religion and bears losses, because he abides by Religious Law and Order. But a hypocrite does not consider himself loyal to the practice of Religious Law and Order, therefore he keeps securing his personal benefits and avoids the losses. Sins of a Muslim are erased due to the worldly problems and difficulties; while the sins of a hypocrite keep increasing and he faces death along with the sins.
