The Prophet [SAW] said: 'The parable of the believer who recites the Qur'an is that of a citron, the taste and smell of which are good. The parable of a believer who does not read the Qur'an is that of a date, the taste of which is good but it has no smell. The parable of a hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is that of basil, the smell of which is good but its taste is bitter. And the parable of a hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is that of a colocynth (bitter-apple), the taste of which is bitter and it has no smell.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin Hisyam bin Isa Al Baghdadi ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Alqamah Al Farwi Abdullah bin Muhammad ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku Yazid bin Khushaifah dari Busr bin Sa'id dari Abu Hurairah ia berkata Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: Wanita mana saja yang memakai wewangian maka janganlah ia ikut shalat isya yang akhir bersama kami. 'Abdurrahman berkata Aku tidak mengetahui seorang pun yang menguatkan (riwayat) Yazid bin Khushaifah dari Busyr bin Sa'id atas perkataannya dari Abu Hurairah. Ya'qub bin Abdullah bin Al Asyaj juga menyelisihinya ia meriwayatkan dari Zainab Ats Tsaqafiah.
