The example of the believer is like the ear of grain
Musnad ash-Shihab 1363 — The example of the believer is like the ear
1363 - أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، أنا الْقَاضِي أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ شَرِيكِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسَدِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، نا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ السُّنْبُلَةِ يُحَرِّكُهَا الرِّيحُ فَتَقَعُ مَرَّةً وَتَقُومُ أُخْرَى، وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ أَوِ الْأَرْزَنَةِ لَا تَزَالُ قَائِمَةً حَتَّى تَنْقَعِرَ»
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The example of a believer is like that of a stalk of grain which the wind moves; sometimes it bends down and sometimes it stands upright. And the example of a disbeliever is like that of a pine or cedar tree (a hard type of tree from which sticks and the like are made) which always stands straight until (suddenly, all at once) it is uprooted.”
