عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَعَاهَدُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ الْإِبِلِ فِي عُقُلِهَا

5033 صحيح البخاري كِتَاب فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ بئس ما لأحدهم أن يقول نسيت آية

791 صحيح مسلم كتاب صلاة المسافرين وقصرها باب الأمر بتعهد القرآن وكراهة قول نسيت آية كذا وجواز قول أنسيتها
