As-Salaam alaikum,
Once, Sayyadi Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, asked the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, "What is the difference between a hypocrite and a believer"? He said that a hypocrite is like a squash vine. In the spring it fills up the garden with leaves and fruit. In the heat of the summer its leaves begin to wilt and when winter comes you can find nothing left of it.
The hypocrite likes to show himself when it suits him, but disappears in times of difficulty. The believer is like the cypress tree, tall and dark green in all seasons. Nothing changes the heart or faith of the mu'min. He is tied yo his Lord's Way.
