اُردوEn
عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَمَثَلِ رَيْحَانَةٍ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ ، وَلَا طَعْمَ لَهَا ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِالْقُرْآنِ [ وَلَا يَقْرَؤُهُ ] كَمَثَلِ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَيَقْرَؤُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ ، وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ طَعْمُهَا خَبِيثٌ وَرِيحُهَا خَبِيثٌ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ مُنْقَطِعٌ .
Al-Qasim states: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The one who learns the Qur'an but does not act upon it is like the sweet basil (rayhanah), whose fragrance is pleasant but which has no taste. The one who acts upon the Qur'an but does not recite it is like the date, whose taste is good but which has no fragrance. The one who acts upon the Qur'an and recites it is like the citron, whose taste is good and whose fragrance is also good. And the one who neither recites the Qur'an nor acts upon it is like the colocynth (hanzalah), whose taste is bitter and whose smell is foul.
