25. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Husayn ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The likeness of the believers is like sprouting plants that are swirled back and forth by the winds. The believers are also turned and bent by pain and illness. The likeness of a hypocrite is that of an iron that is not affected by anything until death comes and shatters him with a (fatal) shattering.’”
25ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ خَامَةِ الزَّرْعِ تُكْفِئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ تُكْفِئُهُ الأوْجَاعُ وَالأمْرَاضُ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ الإرْزَبَّةِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ الَّتِي لا يُصِيبُهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقْصِفَهُ قَصْفاً.
