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.
