وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْهَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَفَرَسُهُ مَرْبُوطَةٌ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَسَكَتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَكَتَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَكَتَ وَسَكَتَتِ الْفَرَسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْصَرَفَ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَشْفَقَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا اجْتَرَّهُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى مَا يَرَاهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ حَدَّثَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَشْفَقْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَطَأَ يَحْيَى وَكَانَ مِنْهَا قَرِيبًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الظُّلَّةِ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجَتْ حَتَّى لَا أَرَاهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَتَدْرِي مَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ دَنَتْ لِصَوْتِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَوْ قَرَأْتَ لَأَصْبَحَتْ يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا لَا تَتَوَارَى مِنْهُمْ".

صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5020

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: The Prophet said, "The example of him (a believer) who recites the Qur'an is like that of a citron which tastes good and smells good. And he (a believer) who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date which is good in taste but has no smell. And the example of a dissolute wicked person who recites the Qur'an is like the Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter. And the example of a dissolute wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which tastes bitter and has no smell.
