حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالأُتْرُجَّةِ، طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِ كَالتَّمْرَةِ، طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلاَ رِيحَ لَهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالرَّيْحَانَةِ، رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالْحَنْظَلَةِ، طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ ـ أَوْ خَبِيثٌ ـ وَرِيحُهَا مُرٌّ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Musa

English translation
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer who recites the Qur'an and acts on it, like a citron which tastes nice and smells nice. And the example of a believer who does not recite the Qur'an but acts on it, is like a date which tastes good but has no smell. And the example of a hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is like a Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter And the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like a colocynth which tastes bitter and has a bad smell
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ মূসা (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, ঐ মু’মিন যে কুরআন পাঠ করে এবং সে অনুযায়ী ‘আমল করে, তাঁর দৃষ্টান্ত ঐ লেবুর মত যা খেতে সুস্বাদু এবং গন্ধে চমৎকার। আর ঐ মু’মিন যে কুরআন পাঠ করে না; কিন্তু এর অনুসারে ‘আমল করে তার দৃষ্টান্ত হচ্ছে ঐ খেজুরের মত যা খেতে সুস্বাদু কিন্তু সুগন্ধ নেই। আর মুনাফিক যে কুরআন পাঠ করে; তার উদাহরণ হচ্ছে, ঐ রায়হানের মত, যার মন মাতানো খুশবু আছে, অথচ খেতে একেবারে বিস্বাদ। আর ঐ মুনাফিক যে কুরআন পাঠ করে না, তার দৃষ্টান্ত হচ্ছে ঐ মাকাল ফলের মত, যা খেতে বিস্বাদ এবং গন্ধে দুর্গন্ধময়। [৫০২০] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪৬৮৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
