Be Mindful Of The Qur'an'
Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بِئْسَمَا لأَحَدِهِمْ أَوْ لأَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ بَلْ هُوَ نُسِّيَ فَاسْتَذْكِرُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النَّعَمِ مِنْ عُقُلِهِ " . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Narrated 'Abdullah: That The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "How Horrible It Is For One Of Them - Or - One Of You To Say: "I Have Forgotten Such And Such Ayah,' Rather He Was Made To Forget. So Be Mindful Of The Qur'An, For - By The One In Whose Hand Is My Soul - It Escapes From Men'S Hearts Faster Than A Camel From Its Fetter."
