Is it true that the one who recites the Qur'an and then dies and enters the Fire is among those who took the verses of Allah in mockery?

Question:
I found a hadith in the same book from 'Ubayy, may Allah be pleased with him, that the one who recites the Qur'an and then dies and enters the Fire is among those who used to take the verses of Allah in mockery. Is this correct, and what is the meaning of this hadith?

Answer:
This is something I have not come across, but if it is a saying of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), then it is not a hadith; rather, it is a report stopping at a Companion. The meaning of this statement is correct: a person may enter the Fire even though he used to recite the Qur'an in this world, because he did not act upon it. He did not avoid what the Qur'an forbade, nor did he do what the Qur'an commanded, and the Qur'an becomes a proof against him. It is reported that the Qur'an will dispute with him on the Day of Resurrection regarding the commands and prohibitions he neglected, and it will not cease to present evidence against him until it is said to him, "Deal with him." Then it will take him and throw him into the Fire. Some of the Salaf said, "A reciter of the Qur'an, and the Qur'an curses him." It was asked, "How is that?" He said, "He recites, 'And Allah has cursed the liars,' while he is lying." and he is wrong. The bottom line is that the meaning of this statement is correct: a person may enter the Fire even if he recites the Qur'an, because he does not act upon it in this world. May Allah reward you with good and do you well.
