Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1826 — Whoever recites the Quran to show

Narrated Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: “The example of the believer who recites the Qur’an and acts upon it is like that of a citron, whose taste is good and whose fragrance is good. And the Muslim who does not recite the Qur’an but acts upon it is like a date, whose taste is good but it has no fragrance. And the example of the hypocrite who recites the Qur’an is like that of basil, whose fragrance is good but its taste is bitter. And the example of the hypocrite who does not recite the Qur’an is like the colocynth, whose taste is bitter and bad and whose fragrance is also foul.”
