Bismillahirrahmanirrahim 

✦ The example of the person who recites the Qur'an 

-----------------

✦ Narrated Abu Musa radi Allahu Anhu The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer who recites the Qur'an and acts on it, like a citron which tastes nice and smells nice. And the example of a believer who does not recite the Qur'an but acts on it, is like a date which tastes good but has no smell. And the example of a hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is like a Raihana (sweet basil) which smells  good but tastes bitter And the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like a colocynth which tastes bitter and has abad smell."

Sahih Bukhari, Book 61, Hadith 579

✦ Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani The Prophet (ﷺ) said: One who recites the Qur'an in a loud voice is like one who gives alms openly; and one who recites the Qur'an quietly is one who gives alms secretly.

Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 5, 1328-Sahih
