و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَکِيُّ وَأَبُو کَامِلٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تُسَافِرُوا بِالْقُرْآنِ فَإِنِّي لَا آمَنُ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقَدْ نَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ وَخَاصَمُوکُمْ بِهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4841
It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Do not take the Qur'an on a journey with you, for I am afraid lost it should fall into the hands of the enemy. Ayyub (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: The enemy may seize it and may quarrel with you over it.
