حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ‏ 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 كَمَثَلِ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ رِيحُهَا مُرٌّ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ ‏"‏ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَيْضًا .

Narrator: Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari

English translation
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) narrated: "The parable of the believer who recites the Qur'an is that of a citron, its fragrance is nice and its taste is nice. The parable of the believer who does not recite the Qur'an is that of a date, it has no smell but its taste is sweet. The parable of the hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is that of basil, its fragrance is nice but its taste is bitter. The parable of the hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is that of the colocynth, its smell is better and its taste is bitter
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ মূসা আল-আশ'আরী (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত, তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে মু’মিন কুরআন তিলাওয়াত করে তার উদাহরণ হল কাগজী লেবুর মতো যার গন্ধও সুবাসিত, স্বাদও ভালো। আর যে মু’মিন কুরআন তিলাওয়াত করে না তার উদাহরণ হল খেজুরের মতো যার কোন গন্ধ নেই, তবে স্বাদ খুব মিষ্টি। আর কুরআন তিলাওয়াতকারী মুনাফিক হল রাইহানা ফুলের মতো যার গন্ধ ভালো কিন্তু স্বাদ অত্যন্ত তিক্ত। কুরআন তিলাওয়াত করে না এমন মুনাফিক হল মাকাল ফলের মতো যার গন্ধও তিক্ত স্বাদও তিক্ত। সহীহঃ নাকদুল কাত্তানী (৪৩), বুখারী ও মুসলিম। আবূ ঈসা বলেনঃ এ হাদীসটি হাসান সহীহ। এ হাদীসটি শু'বাহও কাতাদার সূত্রে বর্ণনা করেছেন।
