944. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not right for any one of you to say: 'I have forgotten such and such a verse.' Rather he has been caused to forget. Study the Qur'ân, for it escapes from the heart of man faster than a camel escapes from its fetter." (Sahîh)

Commentary
If one intends to prevent camels from straying, one of their front knees is tethered. Thus the camel finds it hard to move about. But it exerts its strength and struggles to undo the tether and free its knee. If it is left unattended, it gradually unfastens the rope from around its hamstring and runs away. In the same manner, if the Glorious Qur'an is recited regularly, it remains secure in one's breast. But if one acts slothfully, it will vanish from one's heart.
