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. (Using translation from Muslim 2809a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الزَّرْعِ لَا تَزَالُ الرِّيحُ تُمِيلُهُ وَلَا يَزَالُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُصِيبُهُ الْبَلَاءُ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ شَجَرَةِ الْأَرْزَةِ لَا تَهْتَزُّ حَتَّى تُسْتَحْصَدَ
