Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إِذَا أَحْسَنْتُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، أُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا عَمِلْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ: "، ، إِذَا أَحْسَنْتَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، لَمْ تُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا عَمِلْتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا أَسَأْتَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، أُخِذْتَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ " (١)، ،

English translation

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

Keep refreshing your knowledge of these Mushafs - or he said, Qur’an - for it is more inclined to escape from the hearts of men than camels from their ropes. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No one of you should say, I have forgotten such and such a verse; rather he has been caused to forget.”
