وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَاقْرَءُوهُ فَإِن مثل الْقُرْآن لمن تعلم وَقَامَ بِهِ كَمثل جراب محشو مسكا يفوح رِيحُهُ كُلَّ مَكَانٍ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَرَقَدَ وَهُوَ فِي جَوْفِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ أُوكِئَ عَلَى مسك» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَالنَّسَائِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 2876) and Ibn Majah (No. 217). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 2143).
