حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الأُتْرُجَّةِ، رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ التَّمْرَةِ لاَ رِيحَ لَهَا وَطَعْمُهَا حُلْوٌ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ، رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ، لَيْسَ لَهَا رِيحٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a Believer who recites the Qur'an, is that of a citron which smells good and tastes good; And the example of a Believer who does not recite the Qur'an, is that of a date which has no smell but tastes sweet; and the example of a hypocrite who recites the Qur'an, is that of an aromatic plant which smells good but tastes bitter; and the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an, is that of a colocynth plant which has no smell and is bitter in taste
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ মূসা আশ‘আরী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কুরআন পাঠকারী মু’মিনের দৃষ্টান্ত কমলার মত, যার ঘ্রাণও চমৎকার স্বাদও মজাদার। যে মু’মিন কুরআন পাঠ করে না, তার দৃষ্টান্ত খেজুরের মত, যার কোন সুঘ্রাণ নেই তবে এর স্বাদ মিষ্টি। আর যে মুনাফিক কুরআন পাঠ করে তার উদাহরণ রায়হানার মত, যার সুঘ্রাণ আছে তবে স্বাদ তিক্ত। আর যে মুনাফিক কুরআন পাঠ করে না তার উদাহরণ হন্যালা ফলের ন্যায়, যার সুঘ্রাণও নাই, স্বাদও তিক্ত। [৫০২০] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫০২৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
