English translation

943. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The one who learns the Qur'ân is like the owner of a hobbled camel. If he pays attention to it he will keep it, but if he releases it, it will go away." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

942 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَثَلِ الْإِبِلِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ، إِذَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا ذَهَبَتْ»

Commentary

It is essential for the one who has memorized the Qur'ân to recite it frequently. He should pay utmost attention to identical or very similar verses; if one doesn't do so, it is feared that one will forget what one has memorized the Qur'ân.
