“ومن أوجه الشبه بين المسلم و بين النخلة : دوام الاخضرار ، يقولون إن النخلة في الشتاء لا تُسقط ورقها ، و كذلك المؤمن على كلمة واحدة لا يتغير .. يقول الحسن البصري رحمه الله عن المؤمن : تلقاه العام بعد العام و هو على كلمة واحدة و على نية واحدة و على عمل واحد أما المنافق فيتلوَّن !! ..”
― عائض القرني, اقرأ باسم ربك
