Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: "The example of a believer is like that of a fresh crop; the wind bends it from one side to another, but when the wind stops, it stands straight again. In this way, a believer remains safe from affliction. And the example of a sinner is like that of a pine tree, which stands straight and stiff; (so) whenever Allah wills, He uproots it."
