It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the believer who recites the Noble Qur'an is like that of an orange, whose taste is delicious and whose fragrance is excellent. And the example of the believer who does not recite the Qur'an is like that of 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 (a flower), whose fragrance is good but its taste is bitter. And the example of the hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like that of colocynth, whose taste is bitter and it has no fragrance."
