7560. Narrated Abū Mūsā: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The example of a believer who recites the Qur'ān (but acts on its orders) 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 Qur'ān (but acts on its orders) is like a date which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of Al-Fājir (an impious person) who recites the Qur'an (but does not act on its orders) is that of Ar-Rihāna (an aromatic plant) which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the example of Al-Fājir (an impious person) who does not recite the Qur'an (nor acts on its orders) is that of a colocynth which is bitter in taste and has no smell." (See H.5020, Vol.6)
