Volume 7, Book 70, Number 547:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever dir –
ection the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Sim –
ilarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his difficulties.)
And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts
(breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)
