Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 288-291


Chapter 37: The virtue of the one who memorizes the Qur’an.


Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:


A believer who recites the Qur'an is like an orange whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is sweet; a believer who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste; and the hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is like a basil whose fragrance is sweet, but whose taste is bitter; and a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which has no fragrance and has a bitter taste. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 288)


This hadith has been narrated by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters but with one alteration that instead of the word:


" hypocrite" (Munafiq), there it is" wicked" (fajir). (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 289)


Chapter 38: The virtue of the one who is skilled in reciting Qur’an and the one who falters in reciting.


`A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (as saying):


One who is proficient in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright, recording angels; and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 290)


This hadith has been reported with the same chain of transmitters by Qatada except with this change:


" He who finds it hard (to recite the Qur'an) will have a double reward." (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 291)
