Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“The similitude of a believer is like that of a newly- grown plant which the wind blows to either side. A believer suffers a lot of pain and suffers from many illnesses until he dies. But the similitude of a hypocrite is like that of a straight iron cane which nothing can damage. This situation exists for a hypocrite until his death approaches and smashes him down.”
عنه (عليه السلام): قال
رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): مثل المؤمن كمثل خامة الزرع تكفئها الريح كذا وكذا، والمؤمن تكفئه الأوجاع والأمراض حتى يأتيه الموت، ومثل المنافق كالإرزبة المستقيمة التي لا يصيبها شئ حتى يأتيه الموت فيقصفه قصفا.
