Hazrat Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of a believer is like the first green shoot of a plant, which the wind sometimes bends and sometimes straightens. And the example of a hypocrite is like a pine tree, which always stands straight, but in the end, is uprooted by a single gust of wind.
