حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْعُمَرِيُّ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ مَثَلُ الْإِبِلِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ إِنْ تَعَاهَدَهَا صَاحِبُهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا ذَهَبَتْ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4759

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "The likeness of the Quraan is that of a hobbled camel. If its owner remains vigilant he will keep it, but if he lets it go it will disappear."
