Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: “Shall I not tell you about the believer? The believer is the one from whom people are safe regarding their wealth and lives. The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe. The Mujahid is the one who strives against his own self in obedience to Allah Almighty, and the Muhajir is the one who abandons mistakes and sins.”

By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Indeed, the example of a believer is like a honeybee; it eats that which is pure (like a flower), produces that which is pure (like honey), and when it sits on something, it neither breaks it nor spoils it.”
Hadith 162
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ السُّنْبُلَةِ تَخِرُّ مَرَّةً وَتَسْتَقِيمُ مَرَّةً، وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الْأَرْزِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: الْأَرْزَةِ) لَا يَزَالُ مُسْتَقِيمًا حَتَّى يَخِرَّ وَلَا يَشْعُرُ))
