Sahih al-Bukhari 5643 (Book 75, Hadith 3) #5417
The Example of Believers and Hypocrites

SUMMARY: The example of a believer is like a fresh tender plant which bends in the wind and the example of a hypocrite is like a pine tree which stays straight until it is suddenly uprooted.

Narrated Ka'b: The Prophet said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant, which the wind bends lt sometimes and some other time it makes it straight. And the example of a hypocrite is that of a pine tree which keeps straight till once it is uprooted suddenly.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيحُ مَرَّةً، وَتَعْدِلُهَا مَرَّةً، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَالأَرْزَةِ لاَ تَزَالُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ زَكَرِيَّاءُ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

Have strong faith so you can remain steadfast no matter what life throws at you .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the difference between believers and hypocrites. A believer is compared to a fresh tender plant that can bend in the wind. This means that even when faced with difficult situations, they remain steadfast in their faith and do not waver from it. On the other hand, hypocrites are compared to pine trees that stay straight until they are suddenly uprooted. This means that even though they may appear strong on the outside, their faith can be easily shaken when faced with difficulty or temptation. Both examples show us how important it is to have strong faith so we can remain steadfast no matter what life throws at us.
