A Believer’s Signs and Qualities

16ـ وَبِهَذَا الإسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) الْمُؤْمِنُ كَمِثْلِ شَجَرَةٍ لا يَتَحَاتُّ وَرَقُهَا فِي شِتَاءٍ وَلا صَيْفٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله وَمَا هِيَ قَالَ النَّخْلَةُ.
16. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from the Messenger of Allah who has said the following: “A believer is like the tree whose leaves do not fall off in summer or in winter. They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what tree is it?’ He said, ‘It is the palm-tree.’”
