حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ، فَقَرَأَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ لَهُ إِبِلٌ، فَإِنْ عَقَلَهَا حَفِظَهَا، وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَ عُقُلَهَا ذَهَبَتْ، فَكَذَلِكَ صَاحِبُ الْقُرْآنِ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The example of the Qur'an is like that of a tied camel; if its owner keeps it tied, it remains under his control, but if he lets it loose, it runs away. Similarly is the example of the possessor of the Qur'an who recites it day and night."
