995. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, The believer who recites the Quran is like a citron whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is delicious. A believer who does not recite the Quran is like a date-fruit which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste. The hypocrite who recites the Quran is like a colocynth whose fragrance is so sweet, but its taste is bitter. The hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is like basil which has no fragrance and its taste is bitter. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: This Hadith tells us that a believer who recites the Quran and acts upon it, Allah will grant him a high rank. He is loved by Allah and also enjoys public esteem. The believer who does not recite it but acts upon its teachings is also loved by Allah and people. The hypocrite who recites the Quran to have a good show has an evil and dark mind. Last of all comes that hypocrite who does not recite the Quran and has a dark mind and appearance.
