Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted God's Prophet (a.s): “The story of a believer is like that of a branch of a tree which the winds move around. The believer gets pushed around by pains and illnesses. The story of a hypocrite is like that of a straight cane which is never bent or harmed until death approaches and it bends down.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): مثل المؤمن كمثل خامة الزرع تكفئها الرياح كذا وكذا، والمؤمن تكفئه الأوجاع والأمراض، ومثل المنافق كمثل الإرزبة المستقيمة التي لا يصيبها شئ حتى يأتيه الموت فيقصفه قصفا.
