Sahih al-Bukhari Book 75, Hadith 3
The Prophet (ﷺ) 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.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, 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.)
