Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, ‘The example of a believer who recites the Qur’an is that of a citron (a citrus
fruit) which is good in taste and good in smell. And the believer who does not recite the Quran is like
a date which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of an impious person who recites the
Qur’an is that of Ar-Rihana (an aromatic plant) which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the ex –
ample of an impious person who does not recite the Quran is that of a colocynth which is bitter in
taste and has no smell.”

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 650:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Some people asked the Prophet regarding the soothsayers. He said, “They are nothing.” They said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Some of their talks come true.” The Prophet said, “That word which happens to be
true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend
(the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one
hundred lies.”
