أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ قَسَامَةَ بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

" مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْأُتْرُنْجَةِ، طَيِّبٌ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ رِيحُهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ طَيِّبٌ طَعْمُهَا وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ طَيِّبٌ رِيحُهَا طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ، مُرٌّ طَعْمُهَا خَبِيثٌ رِيحُهَا
