Sunan Ibn Majah 217 (Book) #37119
The Fragrance of the Quran

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encourages us to learn the Quran, recite it and act upon it, as its fragrance will spread everywhere.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Learn the Qur'an, recite it and go to bed, for the likeness of the Qur'an and the one who learns it and acts upon it is that of a sack filled with musk, which spreads its fragrance everywhere. And the likeness of one who learns it then goes to bed with it in his heart is that of a sack that is tied up from which no fragrance comes out'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَوْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَاقْرَءُوهُ وَارْقُدُوا فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْقُرْآنِ وَمَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَقَامَ بِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ مَحْشُوٍّ مِسْكًا يَفُوحُ رِيحُهُ كُلَّ مَكَانٍ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَرَقَدَ وَهُوَ فِي جَوْفِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَى مِسْكٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of learning and reciting the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) compares those who learn and act upon the teachings of the Quran to a sack filled with musk that spreads its fragrance everywhere. He also compares those who learn but do not act upon it to a sack that is tied up from which no fragrance comes out. This hadith teaches us that we should not only learn but also put into practice what we have learned from the Quran in order for its teachings to benefit us and others around us. It also reminds us that if we do not take action on what we have learned then our knowledge will be useless.
