"مَثَلُ الْمؤمِنِ الذِي يَقْرأُ الْقُرآنَ كمَثَلِ الأُتْرُجةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ، ومَثَلُ الْمؤمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرأُ الْقُرآنَ، كَمَثَلِ التَّمرةِ لا رِيح لَهَا وَطَعْمُهَا حُلوٌ، وَمَثَلُ المنَافِق الذِي يَقْرأُ الْقُرآنَ، كَمَثَلِ الريحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبَةٌ () وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ، ومَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرأُ الْقُرآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظلَةِ لَيسَ () لَها رَيح وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ".

"The example of the believer who recites the Quran is like the citron: its scent is pleasant and its taste is pleasant. The example of the believer who does not recite the Quran is like the date: it has no scent and its taste is sweet. The example of the hypocrite who recites the Quran is like the basil: its scent is pleasant but its taste is bitter. The example of the hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is like the colocynth: it has no scent and its taste is bitter."
