Hadith 2784
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ: تُعَدِّلُهَا مَرَّةً، وَتُضْجِعُهَا أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمَوْتَ . وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا لَا يُصِيبُهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً" . قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: الْخَامَةُ: الضَّعِيفُ.
Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like the very first tender green shoot of a plant, which the wind bends; sometimes it makes it fall and sometimes it makes it stand upright, until death comes to it (i.e., it withers). And the example of a disbeliever is like the pine tree, which stands straight on its root; nothing bends it, and in the end, it is uprooted by a single gust." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: «خامة» means weak.
