hadith 1708

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)

“A believer is like a weak branch which is pushed back and forth by the wind, and an infidel is like an invulnerable iron column, until his death approaches and he goes to Hell.”

عن أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) قال

قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): المؤمن كخامة الزرع تنكفئ وتعدل، والكافر كالإرزبة صحيح مصحح حتى يأتيه الموت إلى النار.

hadith 1719

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A man went to see God's Prophet (a.s). The Prophet asked him: “When did you suffer from “Umm Maldam”? The man asked: “What is Umm Maldam?” The Prophet (a.s) said: “It is a sort of headache in this part of the head and a rise in temperature in the head and the chest.” The man said: “O' Prophet of God! I have never suffered from this pain.” He then turned around and left. The Prophet told his companions

“Whoever wants to look at one of the people of Hell can look at this man who turned around. The similitude of a hypocrite is like that of a tree trunk which someone owns and wants to use in a part of his building. However it is not useful in that part of the building, and he tries to use it elsewhere in the building. But it is not useful there either. Thus he finally burns it in fire. And the similitude of a believer is like a newly- grown plant. The wind will blow it to either side, but it returns to its original place. That is the wind will agitate it until the time comes for it to be picked.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

إن رجلا أقبل إلى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) له: متى عهدك بأم ملدم؟ فقال: يا رسول الله، وما أم ملدم؟ فقال: صداع هاهنا وسخنة على الرأس والصدر، فقال: يا رسول الله، ما لي بهذا من عهد، ثم أدبر موليا، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لجلسائه: من سره أن ينظر إلى رجل من أهل النار فلينظر إلى هذا المولي، ثم قال: إن مثل المنافق كمثل جذع أراد صاحبه أن ينتفع به في بعض ما يحتاج إليه في بناية فلم يستقم له، في ذلك، فيحوله إلى موضع آخر فلم يستقم له فكان آخر ذلك أن يحرقه بالنار، ومثل المؤمن كمثل خامة الزرع يهيجها الريح فتنكفئ - يعني يقلبها الريح حتى يأتي عليها أوانها فتحصد -.

hadith 1720

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)

“The similitude of a believer is like that of a newly- grown plant which the wind blows to either side. A believer suffers a lot of pain and suffers from many illnesses until he dies. But the similitude of a hypocrite is like that of a straight iron cane which nothing can damage. This situation exists for a hypocrite until his death approaches and smashes him down.”

عنه (عليه السلام): قال

رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): مثل المؤمن كمثل خامة الزرع تكفئها الريح كذا وكذا، والمؤمن تكفئه الأوجاع والأمراض حتى يأتيه الموت، ومثل المنافق كالإرزبة المستقيمة التي لا يصيبها شئ حتى يأتيه الموت فيقصفه قصفا.
