Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), said, "I forget or I am made to forget so that I may establish the sunna."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

‏ إِنِّي لأَنْسَى أَوْ أُنَسَّى لأَسُنَّ ‏

‏ ‏.‏
