حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ تُعَدِّلُهَا مَرَّةً وَتُضْجِعُهَا أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا لَا يُصِيبُهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً

✧ The example of the believer is like the example of a tender plant of a crop: the winds bend it, at times setting it upright and at other times laying it low, until death comes to him. The example of the disbeliever is like the example of a firmly rooted cedar that nothing can affect until it is uprooted all at once.
