Imam Hasan (a.s.) mentions a simile
Hazrat Imam Hasan (a.s.) was in the court of Muawiya when a man said something uncivil about Imam (a.s.). Imam Hasan (a.s.) replied:
“O Umar Ibn Uthman! How stupid is your nature that you cannot understand. Your simile is like the mosquito that considered itself great. It perched on a date palm and when it took off in the air it said to date palm,
‘Be careful! I am about to land on you once more.’
The tree replied, ‘I don’t even know since when you had perched upon me, so how can your flying away affect me?’
