وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - ﷺ وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ، قَالَ:
" مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَيِّبٌ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ طَعْمُهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ ثَمَرَةٍ طَيِّبٌ طَعْمُهَا لَا رِيحَ لَهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ - وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: مَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ - الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ طَيِّبٌ رِيحُهَا مُرٌّ طَعْمُهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ، - وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: الْفَاجِرُ - الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ خَبِيثٌ طَعْمُهَا خَبِيثٌ رِيحُهَا

✧ "The example of a believer who recites the Quran is like a citron: its fragrance is pleasant and its taste is pleasant. The example of a believer who does not recite the Quran is like a date fruit: its taste is pleasant but it has no fragrance. The example of a hypocrite — and Sa'id said in his hadith: the example of a wicked person — who recites the Quran is like sweet basil: its fragrance is pleasant but its taste is bitter. And the example of a hypocrite — and Sa'id said: a wicked person — who does not recite the Quran is like colocynth: its taste is bitter and its fragrance is unpleasant."
