Story 14
 
 
  A fellow with a disagreeable voice happened to be reading the Quran,
when a pious man passed near, and asked him what his monthly salary
was. He replied: 'Nothing.' He further inquired: 'Then why takest thou
this trouble?' He replied: 'I am reading for God's sake.' He
replied: 'For God's sake do not read.'
 
 
        If thou readest the Quran thus
        Thou wilt deprive the religion of splendour.
