"إِنَّ الْقُرآنَ مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ فِيه مِسْكٌ، قَدْ رَبَطْتَ فَاهُ، فَإِنْ فَتَحْتَهُ فَاحَ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ، وَإِن تَرَكْتَهُ كَانَ مِسْكًا مَوْضُوعًا، فَكَذلكَ مَثَلُ الْقُرآنِ إِنْ قَرَأْتَهُ، وَإِلَّا فَهُوَ فِى صَدْرِكَ". الحكيم، والرامهرمزى في الأَمثال عن عثمان.

"Indeed, the example of the Quran is like a bag containing musk, whose mouth you have tied. If you open it, the scent of musk spreads, and if you leave it, it remains a bag of musk placed aside. Likewise is the example of the Quran: if you recite it, and otherwise it is in your chest." Al-Hakim, and al-Ramahurmuzi in al-Amthal, from 'Uthman.
