أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
«مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ وَلَا يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا الْإِيمَانَ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا قَالَ «فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ الْإِيمَانَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَمَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ حُلْوَةُ الطَّعْمِ لَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَأَمَّا مَثَلُ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُ الْآسَةِ طَيِّبَةُ الرِّيحِ مُرَّةُ الطَّعْمِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَيِّبَةُ الرِّيحِ حُلْوَةُ الطَّعْمِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي لَمْ يُؤْتَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا الْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ مُرَّةُ الطَّعْمِ لَا رِيحَ لَهَا»

✧ Among the people are those who are given faith but not given the Quran, among them are those given the Quran but not given faith, among them are those given the Quran and faith, and among them are those given neither the Quran nor faith.” Then he struck for them a similitude and said: “As for the one given faith but not given the Quran, his example is that of a date: sweet in taste but no fragrance. As for the example of the one given the Quran but not given faith, his example is that of the myrtle: pleasant in fragrance but bitter in taste. As for the one given the Quran and faith, his example is that of the citron: pleasant in fragrance and sweet in taste. And as for the one given neither the Quran nor faith, his example is that of the colocynth: bitter in taste and no fragrance.”
