Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37232 — The words of Ali bin Abi Talib
٣٧٢٣٢ - حدثنا أبو (الأحوص) (١) عن أبي إسحاق عن الحارث عن علي قال: مثل الذي جمع الإيمان والقرآن مثل الأترنجة الطيبة ((الريح) (٢) الطيبة) (٣) الطعم، ⦗٣٢٦⦘ ومثل الذي لم يجمع الإيمان ولم يجمع القرآن متل الحنظلة خبيثة الريح وخبيثة الطعم (٤).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The likeness of one who combines the Qur'an and faith is that of a citron, whose taste is good and whose fragrance is good. And the likeness of one who does not combine faith and the Qur'an is that of a colocynth: its taste is bad and its smell is bad."
