It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: After sixty years, there will be successors among the rulers who will neglect the prayer, follow their desires, and fall into the pit of Hell. After them, there will be successors who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go below their throats. And there are three types of people who recite the Noble Qur'an: the believer, the hypocrite, and the wicked. The narrator of the hadith, Basheer, says: I asked Waleed, "How are these three people?" He replied: The hypocrite denies it, the wicked person eats through it, and the believer has faith in it.
