Four examples of people with the reading of Quran

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

1. The parable of the believer who recites the Quran is that of a citrus fruit, which tastes good and has a pleasant scent.

2. The parable of the believer who does not recite the Quran is that of a date, which has no scent but tastes good.

3. The parable of a hypocrite who recites the Quran is that of basil, which has a pleasant scent but tastes bitter.

4. The parable of the hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is that of a vine, which has no scent and tastes bitter.
