Terjemahan Sahih Muslim Kitab : KITAB SEMBAHYANG ORANG MUSAFIR DAN MENGQASARNYA, Bab : Bab Keistimewaaan Orang Yang Menghafal Al Quran, http://www.mymasjid.net.my/sahih-muslim/index.php?mod=show_matan&hadith_bab=239

Hadis Abu Musa Al-Asy'ariy r.a katanya: 

Rasulullah s.a.w pernah bersabda: Perumpamaan orang mukmin yang membaca Al-Quran ialah seperti perumpamaan buah utrujah iaitu buah yang berbau harum dan rasanya enak. Manakala perumpamaan orang mukmin yang tidak membaca Al-Quran ialah seperti buah kurma, tidak ada baunya akan tetapi rasanya manis. Adapun perumpamaan orang munafik yang membaca Al-Quran ialah seperti buah Raihanah iaitu buah yang berbau harum tetapi rasanya pahit. Sedangkan perumpamaan orang munafik yang tidak membaca Al-Quran ialah seperti buah hanzhalah (peria) iaitu buah yang tidak ada bau sama sekali dan ditambah pula oleh rasanya yang pahit.
