“He plants a thorny tree”
Shaqiq Al-Balkhi said:
مثل المؤمن مثل من غرس نخلة يخاف أن تحمل شوكا ومثل المنافق مثل من زرع شوكا يطمع أن يحمل تمرا هيهات
“The believer (mu’min) is like a man who plants a palm-tree and fears that it will have a single thorn growing on it, while the hypocrite is like the one who plants a thorny tree in hopes that it will bear fruit”.
["Siyar A'lam an-Nubala", 8/200].
