◆ Abu Said reported that the Messenger of God said, “The Lord, most blessed and exalted, says, ‘Whoever is preoccupied by the Quran and My remembrance from asking me about their needs, I will give them better than what I give those who ask Me.’ the superiority of God’s words over all other words is like God’s superiority over His creatures.”
(Tirmidhi)
◆ The Prophet said, “One who recites the Quran is like a citron, whose flavor is good and whose scent is good. One who does not recite the Quran is like a date, whose flavor is good but which has no scent.
An immoral person who recites the Quran is like basil, whose scent is good but whose taste is bitter. And an immoral person who does not recite the Quran is like the colocynth (a bitter purgative drug obtained from the colocynth fruit), whose taste is bitter and which has no scent.”
