The example of the believer is like the ear of grain
Musnad ash-Shihab 1360 — The example of the believer is like the ear
1360 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْفَرَّاءُ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ حَمَدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ السُّنْبُلَةِ تُحَرِّكُهَا الرِّيحُ فَتَقُومُ مَرَّةً وَتَقَعُ أُخْرَى، وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ لَا تَزَالُ قَائِمَةً حَتَّى تَنْقَعِرَ»
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "The example of a believer is like that of a stalk (of grain) which the wind moves; sometimes it stands upright and sometimes it falls down. And the example of a disbeliever is like that of a pine tree which always stands straight until it is uprooted all at once."
