حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُقَلِّبُهَا الرِّيحُ تَصْرَعُهَا مَرَّةً وَتَعْدِلُهَا أُخْرَى وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِبَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا لَا يُفَيِّئُهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِفَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً»

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'The example of the believer is like a stalk of grain that the wind turns over: at one time it knocks it down, and at another it straightens it. The example of the disbeliever is like a firmly rooted cedar tree standing on its trunk, which nothing bends until it is uprooted all at once.'
