Remain steadfast in one's faith despite difficulties faced in life .

This hadith compares believers to standing crops and hypocrites to cypress trees. A standing crop is affected by the wind, which shakes it and sometimes raises it up, but eventually it will reach its destined end. On the other hand, a cypress tree does not get affected by anything except when it gets uprooted once for all. This hadith teaches us that believers may face difficulties in life but they will remain steadfast in their faith until they reach their ultimate goal; whereas hypocrites are easily swayed away from their beliefs and cannot stay true to them for long.
