وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مثل الْمُؤمن الَّذِي يقْرَأ الْقُرْآن كَمثل الْأُتْرُجَّةِ رِيحُهَا طِيبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يقْرَأ الْقُرْآن كَمثل التمرة لَا ريح لَهَا وطعمها حلوومثل الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ لَيْسَ لَهَا رِيحٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يقْرَأ الْقُرْآن مثل الريحانة رِيحهَا طيب وَطَعْمُهَا مَرٌّ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالْأُتْرُجَّةِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالتَّمْرَةِ»
On the authority of Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The likeness of a believer who recites the Qur’an is like a citrus fruit, its scent is pleasant and its taste is pleasant.” It is good. The example of a believer who does not read the Qur’an is like a date that has no smell and its taste is sweet, and the example of a hypocrite who does not read the Qur’an. “The likeness of the colocynth has no scent, but its taste is bitter.” agreed. And in a narration: “The believer who reads the Qur’an and acts upon it is like a citron, and the believer who does not read the Qur’an and acts upon it is like a cigar. "like a date"
