A believer is like a crop, a hypocrite like a cypress tree

Allah's Messenger S.A.W.S. said:
"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."
[Sahih Muslim]

"The similitude of a believer is that of a standing crop in a field which is shaken by wind and then it comes to its original position but it stands at its roots. The similitude of a non-believer is that of a cypress tree which stands on its roots and nothing shakes it, but it is uprooted (with) one (violent stroke)."
[Sahih Muslim]
