Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31984 — Regularly revisiting the Quran
٣١٩٨٤ - حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن عبيد اللَّه عن نافع عن ابن عمر قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "مثل القرآن مثل الإبل (المعقلة) (١) إن عقلها صاحبها أمسكها وإن تركها ذهبت" (٢).
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The likeness of the Qur'an is that of a camel that has been hobbled with a rope. If its owner keeps it tied, it will stay, and if he leaves it free, it will go away.
