Be An Orange!


Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: Allah's Apostle said,

"The example of a Believer who recites the Quran, is that of a citron which smells good and tastes good;
And the example of a Believer who does not recite the Quran, is that of a date which has no smell but tastes sweet;
and the example of a hypocrite who recites the Quran, is that of an aromatic plant which smells good but tastes bitter;
and the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Quran, is that of a colocynth plant which has no smell and is bitter in taste
."

[Sahih Bukhari - Volume 7, Book 65, Number 338]
