Sahih Muslim 2810c (Book 52, Hadith 50) #14149
The Comparison of Believers and Disbelievers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the comparison of a believer and a disbeliever.

This hadith has been narrated through a couple of other chains of transmitters, one which says "the similitude of the disbeliever" instead and another which agrees with the wording of the previous hadith.
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَحْمُودًا قَالَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ بِشْرٍ ‏"‏ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الأَرْزَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَمَّا ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ كَمَا قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith compares the life of a believer to that of a disbeliever. A believer is someone who has faith in Allah and follows His teachings while a disbeliever does not believe in Allah or His teachings. The hadith states that the life of a believer is like that of an upright tree whose roots are firmly planted in the ground while the life of a disbeliever is like that of an uprooted tree which can be blown away by any wind. This comparison highlights how important it is for one to have faith in Allah as it provides stability and strength to one's life. It also shows how those who do not believe will be easily swayed by any external force or influence which can lead them astray from their true purpose in life.
