Sahih Muslim 2809a (Book 52, Hadith 46) #14145
The Similitude of Believers and Hypocrites

SUMMARY: A believer is like a standing crop which is constantly tossed by the wind, while a hypocrite is like a cypress tree which does not move until it is uprooted.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The Similitude of a believer is that of (a standing) crop which the air continues to toss from one side to another; in the same way a believer always (receives the strokes) of misfortune. The similitude of a hypocrite is that of a cypress tree which does not move until it is uprooted.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الزَّرْعِ لاَ تَزَالُ الرِّيحُ تُمِيلُهُ وَلاَ يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ الْبَلاَءُ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ شَجَرَةِ الأَرْزِ لاَ تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّى تَسْتَحْصِدَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the difference between believers and hypocrites. It compares believers to a standing crop that continues to be tossed by the wind, meaning that they are constantly tested with misfortune but remain steadfast in their faith. On the other hand, hypocrites are compared to a cypress tree that does not move until it is uprooted, meaning they do not change their ways even when faced with adversity. This hadith teaches us that we should remain strong in our faith even when faced with difficulty and never give up on our beliefs no matter what happens. We should also strive to be honest and sincere in our actions so as not to become hypocrites who do not change their ways despite being tested by Allah SWT.
