Musnad Ahmad 10775

Translation

✧ The example of a believer is like a tender plant; whichever way the wind blows, it bends, and when the wind calms, it straightens. Thus the believer is bent by trials. And the example of a disbeliever is like a pine tree, hard and upright, which God breaks when He wills.
