Hadith 1825
`Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says that` I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "A people will emerge from among you such that you will consider your prayers insignificant compared to their prayers, and your fasts compared to their fasts, and your (other) good deeds compared to their deeds. And they will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out of the religion just as an arrow passes out of the hunted animal, so that the hunter finds nothing on the arrowhead, nor anything stuck to the shaft, nor any trace on the feathers—just a slight doubt (if the hunter looks at the arrowhead, he sees nothing on it)."

Hadith 1826
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.”
