كتاب الجهادBook: On the Explanation of Jihad
بَابُ النَّهْيِ عَنْ أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّChapter on prohibition of traveling with the Qur'an to enemy lands
Hadith 965
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ " . قَالَ مَالِك : وَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking the Noble Qur'an to the land of the enemy. Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The reason for this prohibition is so that the enemy does not take the Noble Qur'an and disrespect it.
