Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "How evil it is for one of them to say, 'I forgot such-and-such verse.' Rather, he was made to forget. So review the Qur'an, for it escapes from men's hearts faster than camels escape from their tethers." [Agreed upon] Muslim added: "From their tethers."
