Silsilah as-Sahihah 2275 — A believer benefits from trials

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like that of a fresh crop which the winds keep bending in different directions, and the example of a hypocrite is like that of a pine tree which stands straight on the ground until it is suddenly uprooted all at once."
