2942. ‘Abdullāh narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “How horrible it is for one of them – or – one of you to say: ‘I have forgotten such and such Āyah,’ rather he was made to forget. So be mindful of the Qur’an, for – by the One in Whose Hand is my soul – it escapes from men’s hearts faster than a camel from its fetter.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
A person saying, ‘I have forgotten such and such Verse’ points out that he was neglectful in remembering the Qur’an; due to his negligence and laziness he forgot those Verses. Any Muslim’s way of treating the Qur’an like this is incorrect; he should be mindful and regular in reciting the Qur’an.
