Riyad as-Salihin, 1002
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Read the Qur'an regularly. By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, it escapes from memory faster than a camel does from its tying ropes." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال
تعاهدوا هذا القرآن فوالذي نفس محمد بيده لهو أشد تفلتًا من الإبل في عقلها
. ((متفق عله)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It vehemently urges us not to forget the Qur’anic verses we know by heart. To this end, we should revise and recite it frequently.<br>
2) If you leave the Qur’an, it leaves you. So, a person who knows the Qur’an by heart should recite it on a regular basis.<br>
3) Setting examples for educational purposes is one of the best methods for explaining.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
The lesson we take from the above Hadith is that we should revise and study useful knowledge on a constant basis, especially the noble Qur’an. Although Allah Almighty made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, it escapes the memory easily. Then, what about other areas of knowledge!<br>
So, we should study and revise knowledge regularly.
