حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ (٢) الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ. وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا. وَمَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الرَّيْحَانَةِ مُرٌّ طَعْمُهَا وطَيِّبُ رِيحُهَا (٣) . وَمَثَلُ، ، الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ مُرٌّ طَعْمُهَا وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The example of the Muslim who recites the Noble Qur’an is like that of the citron, whose taste is good and whose fragrance is good. The example of the Muslim who does not recite the Qur’an is like that of the date, whose taste is good but it has no fragrance. The example of the sinner who recites the Qur’an is like that of the basil, whose taste is bitter but its fragrance is good. And the example of the wicked person who does not recite the Qur’an is like that of the colocynth, whose taste is bitter and it has no fragrance.
