2916. Al-Muṭṭalib bin 'Abdullāh bin Ḥanṭab narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The rewards for my Ummah were displayed before me, even (the reward for) the dust that a man comes out of the Masjid with. The sins of my Ummah were displayed before me, and I have not seen a sin worse than a Sūrah or Āyah of the Qur'an which a man learned and then forgot." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route. I mentioned it to Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl, and he did not know it and considered it Gharīb. Muḥammad said: "I do not know of Al-Muṭṭalib bin 'Abdullāh bin Ḥanṭab hearing from any one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, except for his saying: 'Someone who attended a Khutbah of the Prophet ﷺ narrated to me.'"
And I heard 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān saying: "We do not know of Al-Muṭṭalib hearing from any one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ." 'Abdullāh said: "Alī bin Al-Madīnī rejected the idea that Al-Muṭṭalib heard from Anas."

Commentary
Although this Hadīth is not authentic, yet forgetting the Words of Allāh intentionally and neglectfully, turning away from the blessed and virtuous Speech of Allāh is a very disliked act.
