Did the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) forget some verses of the Quran?

 

This question has been come up by: Muhammad Sadegh Asgar Nezhad

 

The explanation of the question

 

  We found a narration in the book of Bokhari claiming the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) came to the mosque and heard that someone was reciting. Then the prophet stated ' ' God 's mercy be upon him. She recited some verses that I had forgotten.   

 

                                                                                            Is this story true?

 

Isn 't it in contrast with the immaculateness of prophet?

 

Answer

 

The main narration in Bokhari and Moslem

 

One of faults that discredits   the book of Bokhari and Moslem is an insult that has been attributed to the prophets of God in this book. We have mentioned some of its examples in the following address                                  

 

 http://www.valiasr-aj.com/fa/page.php?bank=question&id=9629

 

 

One of these insults is forgetting the verses of the Quran. Bokhari and Moslem have narrated in the book ' ' Sahih ' ' 

 

حدثنا رَبِيعُ بن يحيى حدثنا زَائِدَةُ حدثنا هِشَامٌ عن عُرْوَةَ عن عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها قالت سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ في الْمَسْجِدِ فقال يَرْحَمُهُ الله لقد أَذْكَرَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا آيَةً من سُورَةِ كَذَا حدثنا محمد بن عُبَيْدِ بن مَيْمُونٍ

حدثنا عِيسَى عن هِشَامٍ وقال أَسْقَطْتُهُنَّ من سُورَةِ

كَذَا تَابَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بن مُسْهِرٍ وَعَبْدَةُ عن هِشَامٍ

حدثنا أَحْمَدُ بن أبي رَجَاءٍ هو أبو الوليد الهروي حدثنا أبو أُسَامَةَ عن هِشَامِ بن عُرْوَةَ عن أبيه

عن عَائِشَةَ قالت سمع رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ في سُورَةٍ بِاللَّيْلِ

فقال يَرْحَمُهُ الله لقد أَذْكَرَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا آيَةً كنت أُنْسِيتُهَا من سُورَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا

One day, the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants)

entered the mosque and heard that a man was reciting some verses of the Quran.

Then he said ' ' God 's mercy be upon him; he has reminded me such and such a verse from such and such Surah                                                   

 

Isa has narrated from Hesham that the messenger of God stated (he reminded me some verses); I had omitted them from such and such Surah. 

 

Ali Ben Mashar and Abde have narrated this narration from Hesham in this way.

 

Aeshe has narrated that a night the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) that a man was reciting the verses of a Surah.

Then he stated ' ' God 's mercy be upon him; he has reminded me such and such verses from such and such Surah that I had been slave at the beginning.

 

Al-Bokhari Al-Jaafi, Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ben Esmaeel (died in 256 hejira), Sahih Al-Bokhari, v 4 p 1922, hadith 4750, 4751, Ketab Fazael Al-Quran,

chapter Nesyan Al-Quran, Researched by: D. Mostafa Deib Al-Bagha, Published by: Dar Ibn Kathir, Al-Yamame, Beirut, Third Edition, 1407- 1987

 

This matter has been narrated in the book ' ' Sahih Moslem ' ' v 1 p 543/ chapter of Fazael Al-Quran and Ma Yataalagh Beh ' '.

 

There is no doubt that this matter is a vulgar insult to the last prophet and the forgetfulness of the prophet takes the trust of the people to him away. Moreover, this matter is in contrast with the purpose that God had in sending the prophets because if the man had not recited the forgotten verses, the prophet would not have remembered them and they omitted from the Quran. The prophet may have forgotten other verses; therefore, we have not got familiar with them.                                                                                                              

                                                                                                       

The purpose of presenting these matters

 

There is no doubt that the purpose of issuing these matters is to deny the memory of the prophet and it proves that the prophet made

mistakes in preaching the religion and memorizing the Quran. And he was not able to support his permanent miracle.                                                                              

 

This purpose has been followed and issued by the enemies of the Islam and Jewish people that have just become Muslim in

order to deny the legitimacy of the Islam religion and the reason of the Quran. However, unfortunately, these matters have been narrated in the Sunni most valid in widely.                         

 

Another purpose of designers and issuers of these matters is to degrade the rank of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) because the followers of Saghife should demonstrate the personality of the messenger of God in a way that Umar and Abubakr can be his successors. On the other hand,

they have understood that they cannot promote the rank of Abubakr and Umar to the rank of the prophet; therefore,

they have tried to degrade the rank of the prophet so that there is little equivalence between the prophet and his successors and consequently,

they can be considered as the successors of the messenger of God.

                                                                    

 

Most of the Sunni dignitaries have narrated from the son of Umar that it took twelve years for Umar Ben Al-Khatab to learn the Surah of Baghare

 

عن بن عمر قال: هتعلم عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه البقرة في إثني عشرة سنة فلما أتمها نحر جزورا.

Abdullah Ben Umar has said ' ' it took twelve years for Umar Ben Al-Khatab to learn the Surah of Baghare. When he could learn it,

he killed twelve camels in order to thank God for that.

It is natural that a person with such talent and memory cannot be the successor of some one. Moreover, he recited the verses of the Quran before Gabriel conveyed them and God has given the first and the last knowledge to him. The supporters of the caliph have made some narrations which this matter has no fault because the prophet himself did not have strong memory and talent and he forgot the verses of the Quran.

                                                                            

 

In addition, the supporters of the caliph understood that Umar Ben Al-Khatab forgot some verses of the Quran and his opinions were against those opinions. to justify these matters, they have tried to prove that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) forgot the verses of the Quran and he even omitted some verses in the Quran so that no one could find faults in the caliph.

                                                                                                              

 

For example, the fatwa of mistake of Umar about marriage portion of women is well known.

 

598ـ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْم قال حَدَّثَنَا مجالد عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قال خطب عُمَر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه الناس فحمد الله وأثني عليه وقال ألاَ لاَ تغالوا فِي صدق النساء فانه لاَ يبلغني عَن أحد ساق أكثر من شيء ساقه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أو سيق إليه إلاَّ جعلت فضل ذلك فِي بيت المال ثم نزل فعرضت له امرأة من قريش فقالت يا أمير المؤمنين كتاب الله عز وجل أحق أن يتبع أو قولك قال بل كتاب الله عز وجل فما ذلك قالت نهيت الناس آنفا أن يغالوا فِي صدق النساء والله عز وجل يقول فِي كتابه «وَآتَيْتُمْ إِحْداهُنَّ قِنْطاراً فَلا تَأْخُذُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئا» فقال عُمَر كل أحد افقه من عُمَر مرتين أو ثَلاََثًا....

One day, Umar Ben Al-Khatab was reciting some sermons, he said after praising God ' ' no one is allowed to overindulge in marriage portion of women. If I am informed that someone pays more than what the messenger of God paid or she will be paid, I will leave additional marriage portion to Beit Al-Mal. when he stopped sermonizing, a woman from Ghoreish Tribe objected to him ' ' O ' Amir Al-Momenin! Is the book of God is appropriate to be followed or your remarks? Umar said ' ' of course, the book of God is more appropriate. Why are you saying such remarks? The woman said ' ' now you are preventing people from overindulging in the marriage portion of women whereas God has stated in his book ' ' if you have paid a lot of money to her (as marriage portion), do not take back something from it ' '. Then Umar said ' ' all of people are more aware than Umar ' '. He repeated this sentence three times.

 In addition, his famous fatwa about Timem is against the words of the Quran, if someone has wet dreams and does not have water, she or he should not pray.

 

Moslem Neishaburi has written in the book ' ' Sahih ' '

 

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أتى عُمَرَ فقال إني أَجْنَبْتُ فلم أَجِدْ مَاءً فقال لَا تُصَلِّ فقال عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ يا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ أنا وَأَنْتَ في سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فلم نَجِدْ مَاءً فَأَمَّا أنت فلم تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أنا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ في التُّرَابِ وَصَلَّيْتُ فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما كان يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَضْرِبَ بِيَدَيْكَ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ تَنْفُخَ ثُمَّ تَمْسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَكَفَّيْكَ فقال عُمَرُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يا عَمَّارُ قال إن شِئْتَ لم أُحَدِّثْ بِهِ.

A man came to Umar and said I have had wet dreams, but I did not find water ( to ablute. what should I do?) Umar said ' ' do not pray ' '. Amar that had taken part in there said to Umar ' ' can 't you remember that you and I were in a war and both of us had wet dream and we did not find water. However, I covered myself in dirt and prayed. Then the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) ' ' it was enough for you to cover your hands with dirt, shook it and then you performed the mash ritual on your face and the wrists of your hands with your hands ' '. Then Umar said ' ' O ' Amar! Fear from God. ' ' Amar said ' ' if you want me, I will not talk about it ' '.                                                                 

 Sahih Moslem, Author name: Moslem Ben Al-Hajaj Abu Al-Hossein Al-Ghashiri Al-Neishaburi, (died in 261 hejira), v 1 p 280, hadith 368, chapter Al-Tayamom, Published by: Dar Ehya Al-Torath Al-Arabi, Beirut, Researched by: Muhammad Foad Abd Al-Baghi

 

 

It is natural that if Umar Ben Al-Khatab had remembered the verse

 

«فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا ماءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعيداً طَيِّبا....»

He would never have issued such fatwa.

 

If the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had forgotten the verses of the Quran and had omitted them from the Quran, there would not have been any problems for the caliph and his excuse would have been more acceptable than the excuse of the messenger of God.                           

                                                                                                     

The verses of the Quran and forgetfulness of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants):

 

It is clear that forgetfulness of the verse of the Quran by the messenger of God is one of clear lies that is in contrast with the Quran, wisdom and tradition because if the prophet cannot keep the verses of God that is his permanent miracle, we cannot trust such person in preach religion and doing  God mission. Hence, such person cannot have the qualification of receiving revelation and doing mission.                                                                                                            

 

God says clearly in the Surah of

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسىَ. إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الجَْهْرَ وَمَا يخَْفَى‏. Al-Ala/ 6-7 

 

By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden

 

God has promised to his prophet absolutely in this verse that he will never forget the verses of the Quran; especially he has used the word ' ' Sin ' ' that proves the progression of recitation. Then God mentions an exception with the phrase ' ' Ela Ma Shah Allah ' ' in order to establish his power and in fact, he admonishes the prophet that God can take back this mercy from you if he wills and makes you forget verses.

                                                                          

This exception emphasizes on this fact that the prophet will not forget the verses of the Quran because this lack of forgetfulness is a mercy from God and God will never deprive his prophet from this great mercy and forgetfulness is in contrast with the origin of mission and the purpose of prophecy.                     

 

This kind of exception can be seen in other verses. For example, in the verse

 

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ خالِدِينَ فِيها ما دامَتِ السَّماواتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا ما شاءَ رَبُّكَ عَطاءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذ.Hud/ 108

 

And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: a gift without break.

 

There is no doubt that if someone enters the heaven, he will not leave there. In this verse, God wants to consider this as an exception with the sentence ' ' Ela Masha Rabk ' ' in order to make others know ' ' although the heaven is a place that you can live there forever, it does not take the power of God away and it does not mean that God cannot dismiss you from the heaven.

 

Hence, the exception in the verse

 

  سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسىَ. إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الجَْهْرَ وَمَا يخَْفَى

 

Has such meaning not the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had forgotten something and God had made him remember it.

 

Unfortunately, to justify and blindly defend from the narrations in Bokhari and Moslem, they have tried to misuse this sentence in the favor of themselves and to prove that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) forgot the verses of the Quran, but God reminded them to the prophet through any means, reciting the same verses by one of companions.   

 

To answer these kinds of persons, Abd Al-Azim Zarghani, one of contemporary scientists of the Sunnite religion, has written

                                                                                                 

وأما احتجاجهم الثاني وهو الاسثناء الذي في قوله سبحانه «سنقرئك فلا تنسى إلا ما شاء الله» فلا يدل على ما زعموا لأنه استثناء صوري لا حقيقي.

والحكمة فيه أن يعلن الله عباده أن عدم نسيانه صلى الله عليه وسلم الذي وعده الله إياه في قوله «فلا تنسى» إنما هو محض فضل من الله وإحسان ولو شاء سبحانه أن ينسيه لأنساه.

...والدليل على أن هذا الاستثناء صوري لا حقيقي أمران أحدهما ما جاء في سبب النزول وهو أن النبي (ص) كان يتعب نفسه بكثرة قراءة القرآن حتى وقت نزول الوحي مخافة أن ينساه ويفلت منه فاقتضت رحمة الله بحبيبه أن يطمئنه من هذه الناحية وأن يريحه من هذا العناء فنزلت هذه الآية

كما نزلت آية « لَا تحَُرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَ قُرْءَانَه‏» (القيامة 16/ 17) وآية «وَلا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُقْضى‏ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ وَ قُلْ رَبِّ زِدْني‏ عِلْما» (طه 114)

ثانيهما أن قوله «إلا ما شاء الله» (الأنعام 128) يعلق وقوع النسيان على مشيئة الله إياه والمشيئة لم تقع بدليل ما مر بك من نحو قوله «إن علينا جمعه وقرآنه» (القيامة 17) وإذا فالنسيان لم يقع للعلم بأن عدم حصول المعلق عليه يستلزم عدم حصول المعلق فالذي عنده ذوق لأساليب اللغة ونظر في وجوه الأدلة يتردد في أن الآية وعد من الله أكيد بأن الرسول يقرئه الله فلا ينسى وعدا منه على وجه التأييد من غير استثناء حقيقي لوقت من الأوقات وإلا لما كانت الآية مطمئنة له عليه الصلاة والسلام ولكان نزولها

   أشبه بالعبث ولغو الكلام.

 

Their second reason (persons that agree with forgetfulness) is an exception that has been said in this remark of God, but this verse does not demonstrate to what they fancy because this exception is superficial not real.

 

The wisdom of this exception is that God announces his persons ' ' lack of forgetfulness of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) is a promise that God has annunciated in the sentence ' ' Fala Tansi ' ' and this lack of forgetfulness is mercy from God and if God wants, he can make him forget them.

 

the reason is that this exception is superficial not real.     

 

The first reason: the matters that have been narrated about the descendant of this verse are ' ' the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) troubled himself with reciting the verses of the Quran a lot in the time of its descendant so that they do not forget them. Then the mercy of God toward his friend was to assure him about this matter and to relieve him from this difficulty and afterwards, this verse was descended.

    As this verse descended,

 

' 'Do not move your mouth for hurrying in reciting the Quran because collecting and reciting the Quran are left to us ' '.  

 

As this verse descended,

 

 Do not hurry in reciting Quran before its descent is finished to you and say ' ' O ' God! increase my science ' '.

 

The second reason: forgetfulness in the verse ' ' ' Ma Sha Allah ' ' belongs to the province of God and this province of God has not been proved due to the mentioned verses such as the verse ' ' En Alayna Jome and Ghorane ' '. Hence, forgetfulness has not been proved because the science to lack of implementation Moalagh Alayhe (the province of God) involves lack of gain Moalagh ( forgetfulness).    

 

Hence, everyone that has good taste and choice (familiarity with the ways of eloquence and fluency) and looks at different reasons will not hesitate that this verse promises that God will recite the verses his messenger and he will not forget them with this promise of God forever and without real exception and in no time; otherwise, this verse does not demonstrate any certainty for the prophet and its descent will be similar to the futile remark.

The disapproval of forgetting the verses of Quran in the Sunni narrations

 

It is interesting that there are narrations in the Sunni sources about the disapproval of forgetting Quran which even narrations have considered it the greatest sin and the greatest plight and they have narrated the promise of severe punishment for forgetting it.   

 

Muhammad Ben Ismaeil Bokhari and Moslem Neishaburi have narrated from the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) in the book ' ' Sahih ' ' that the prophet ordered all of the Muslims to repeat Quran so that they do not forget it

 

   عن أبي وَائِلٍ عن عبد اللَّهِ قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بِئْسَ ما لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ بَلْ نُسِّيَ وَاسْتَذْكِرُوا الْقُرْآنَ فإنه أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا من صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ من النَّعَمِ.

It has been narrated from Abdullah that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated ' ' it is a bad thing that one of you say ' ' I have forgotten such and such a verse, but he should say ' ' It is my fault that I have forgotten it ' '. Repeat the Quran a lot because the escape of animals from a tie is less difficult than forgetting Quran ' '.

He has narrated another narration that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated

 

 تَعَاهَدُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بيده لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا من الْإِبِلِ من عُقُلِهَا.

Pay attention to Quran a lot. I swear someone that has the control of my life; the separation of the Quran from heart is more difficult than escape of a camel from tie.  

 

Al-Bokhari Al-Jaafi, Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ben Esmaeel (died in 256 hejira), Sahih Al-Bokhari, v 4 p 1921, hadith 4746, Ketab Fazael Al-Quran, chapter Estezkar Al-Quran va Taahodeh, Researched by: D. Mostafa Deib Al-Bagha, Published by: Dar Ibn Kathir, Al-Yamame, Beirut, Third Edition, 1407- 1987

 

Was the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) be able not to do the order that he issued to others himself?   

 

won 't it be the same as this sacred verse

 

يَأَيهَُّا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ.كَبرَُ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونAl-Saff/ verses 2-3

 

O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not? Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.

 

Abu Davud Sajastani has written about the punishment of a person that forgets the verses of the Quran after memorizing it in the book ' ' Sonan ' '

 

 حدثنا محمد بن الْعَلَاءِ أخبرنا بن إِدْرِيسَ عن يَزِيدَ بن أبي زِيَادٍ عن عِيسَى بن فَائِدٍ عن سَعْدِ بن عُبَادَةَ قال قال رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ما من امْرِئٍ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ يَنْسَاهُ إلا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عز وجل يوم الْقِيَامَةِ أَجْذَمَ.

 

Sad Ben Estated has narrated that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated ' ' there is no one to recite the Quran and then he forgets it; otherwise, he meets God in the doomsday as he suffers from leprosy.

                   Abd Al-Ruf Monavi has said about the explanation of the narration

 

 ( ما من امرئ يقرا القرآن ) أي يحفظه عن ظهر قلب ( ثم ينساه الا لقى الله يوم القيامة وهو ( أجذم ) بذال معجمة أي مقطوع اليد أو به داء الجذام أو هو خال من الخير صفرا من الثواب وفيه أن نسيان القرآن كبيرة لهذا الوعيد ( دعن سعد بن عبادة ) واسناده حسن.

If someone memorizes the Quran and then he forgets it, he will meet God as he suffers from leprosy or his hands will be empty of benevolence and reward. According to this narration, the promise of torture is related to forgetfulness of the Quran is one of big sins. Abu Davud has narrated this narration from Sad Ben Estated and its document is valid.

Ahmad Ben Hanbel has written in the book ' ' Mosnad ' '

 

حدثنا عبد اللَّهِ حدثني أبي ثنا عبد الصَّمَدِ ثنا عبد الْعَزِيزِ يعني بن مُسْلِمٍ حدثني يَزِيدُ يعني بن أبي زِيَادٍ عن عِيسَى بن فَائِدٍ عن عُبَادَةَ بن الصَّامِتِ قال قال رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ما من أَمِيرِ عَشَرَةٍ إِلاَّ يُؤْتَى بِهِ يوم الْقِيَامَةِ مَغْلُولاً لاَ يَفُكُّهُ منها إِلاَّ عَدْلُهُ وما من رَجُلٍ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ نَسِيَهُ إِلاَّ لقي اللَّهَ يوم الْقِيَامَةِ أَجْذَمَ.

Estated Ben Samet has narrated that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated ' ' all of people bring the leader of their nation with tied hands; nothing can free him except his justice ' '.                           

 

 There is no one to learn the Quran and then he forgets it; otherwise, he meets God as he suffers from leprosy.

 

Al-Sheibani, Abu Abdullah Ahmad Ben Hanbal, v 5 p 323, hadith 22810, Published by: Ghartabat Institute, Egypt

 

According to these narrations whose document is good, Nauz Ba Allah, the messenger of God will meet God as he suffers from leprosy and his hands have been cut!!!

 

If not, why has the prophet been insulted that he forgets the verses of the Quran? 

 

Termezi and Abu Davud have narrated in the book ' ' Sonan ' ' 

 

حدثنا عبد الْوَهَّابِ بن الْحَكَمِ الْوَرَّاقُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حدثنا عبد الْمَجِيدِ بن عبد الْعَزِيزِ عن بن جُرَيْجٍ عن الْمُطَّلِبِ بْن حَنْطَبٍ عن أَنَسِ بن مَالِكٍ قال قال رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أُجُورُ أُمَّتِي حتى الْقَذَاةُ يُخْرِجُهَا الرَّجُلُ من الْمَسْجِدِ وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبُ أُمَّتِي فلم أَرَ ذَنْبًا أَعْظَمَ من سُورَةٍ من الْقُرْآنِ أو آيَةٍ أُوتِيهَا رَجُلٌ ثُمَّ نَسِيَهَا.

Anas Ben Malek has narrated that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated ' ' (when I was in Meraj) the rewards of my nation were given to me, even the reward of a person that cleans a mosque. The sins of my nation were given to me. Hence, there is no sin greater than teaching a Surah or a verse to someone and then he forgets it.

According to this narration, the Sunni scientists believe that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) committed a sin which he had not seen a sin greater than it in Meraj.

 

Abu Nasr Meruzi has written in the book ' ' Mokhtasar Ghiyam Al-Layl

     

حدثنا محمد بن يحيى، حدثني محمد بن عبيد الله الصنعاني، ثنا ابن جريج، قال: قال أنس رضي الله عنه إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَكْبَرِ ذَنْبٍ تَوَافى بِهِ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَسُورَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَعَ أَحَدِهِمْ فَنَسِيَهَا»

One of greatest sins that my nation will face in the doomsday memorizes a Surah of the book of God and then he forgets it.

Ghasem Ben Salam has narrated this narration from Ibn Jarih and he has narrated it from Salman Farsi

 

قال ابن جريج: وحدثت عن سلمان الفارسي، أنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: « من أكبر ذنب توافي به أمتي يوم القيامة سورة من كتاب الله كانت مع أحدهم فنسيها » 

Al-Baghdadi, Abu Obeid Al-Ghasem Ben Salam (died in 224 hejira), Fazael Al-Quran, v 1 p 311, according to the software of Jamat Al-Kabir  

 

Ibn Hajaz Asghalani has written in the book ' ' Fath Al-Bari ' '

 

ومن طريق أبي العالية موقوفا كنا نعد من أعظم الذنوب أن يتعلم الرجل القرآن ثم ينام عنه حتى ينساه وإسناده جيد ومن طريق بن سيرين بإسناد صحيح في الذي ينسى القرآن كانوا يكرهونه ويقولون فيه قولا شديدا.

 

It has been narrated from Abu Al-Alie that the biggest sin for us is that a man learns the Quran and then he learns and forgets it. The document of this narration is good. It has been narrated from Ibn Sirin with valid document about a person that forgets Quran ' ' they do not like this and they are serious about it ' '.

Ibn Arabi Maleki has written about disapproving of the forgetfulness of the Quran.

 

وورد في الخبر فيمن حفظ آية ثم نسيها عذبه الله يوم القيامة عذاباً لا يعذبه أحداً من العلمين.

It has been narrated that if someone memorizes a verse of the Quran and then he forgets it, God will torture him in the doomsday in the way that he has tortured no one.

 

Ibn Al-Arabi Al-Tai Al-Khatami, Mohei Al-Din Ben Ali Ben Muhammad (died in 638 hejira), Al-Fotuhat Al-Makiye Fi Marefat Al-Asrar Al-Melkiye, v 4 p 208, Published by: Dar Ehya Al-Torath Al-Arabi, Lebanon, First Edition, 1418 hejira- 1998

 

Ibn Arabi should be asked ' ' what is your opinion about the forgetfulness of the Quran by the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants)? Will he be tortured in the doomsday in such a way or the narration that Bokhari and Moslem have narrated is considered as lie and insult?


Ibn Abi Shibe has written

 

حدثنا وكيع عن إبراهيم بن يزيد عن الوليد بن عبد الله بن أبي مغيث قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عرضت علي الذنوب فلم أر فيها شيئا أعظم من حامل القرآن وتاركه.

When I got familiar with different kinds of sins, I did not find a sin greater than a person that recites Quran and then he stops reciting it (he memorizes Quran and then he forgets it).

He has narrated in another narration

 

حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن عبد الكريم بن أبي أمية عن طلق بن حبيب قال من تعلم القرآن ثم نسيه من غير عذر حط عنه بكل آية درجة وجاء يوم القيامة مخصوما.

Talagh Ben Habib has said ' ' a degree of the rank of everyone that learns Quran and then forgets it will be degraded for a verse whereas he or she has no excuse. He enters the doomsday as he has been convicted.

 

Mosnef Ibn Abi Sheibe, v 6 p 124, hadith 29997

 

In addition, narrating from Zahak Ben Mozahem, the Sunni dignitaries have narrated that forgetting Quran is the greatest plight and it has been considered as the sins of the reader of Quran

 

حدثنا عبد الله بن المبارك، عن عبد العزيز بن أبي رواد، قال: سمعت الضحاك بن مزاحم، يقول: «ما من أحد تعلم القرآن ثم نسيه إلا بذنب يحدثه؛ لأن الله يقول: وما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم وإن نسيان القرآن من أعظم المصائب».

Abd Al-Aziz Ben Abi Revad says that he heard from Zahak Ben Mozahem that said ' ' there is no one that learns Quran and then he forgets it; otherwise, he commits sins because God has stated ' ' every plight that a person suffers from is due to actions that you have done ' ' and forgetfulness of Quran is one of greatest plights.

More importantly, there are narrations that prove that some companions never forgot the Quran with the miracle of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants).

                                                                                    

Tabarani has written in the book ' ' Majam AlKabir ' '

 

حدثنا أَحْمَدُ بن زُهَيْرٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا أبو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بن عَلِيٍّ ثنا عبد الأَعْلَى ثنا عبد اللَّهِ بن عبد الرحمن الطَّائِفِيُّ عن عبد اللَّهِ بن الْحَكَمِ عن عُثْمَانَ بن بِشْرٍ قال سمعت عُثْمَانَ بن أبي الْعَاصِ يقول شَكَوْتُ إلى رسول اللَّهِ صلى اللَّهُ عليه وسلم نِسْيَانَ الْقُرْآَنِ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي بيده فقال يا شَيْطَانُ اخْرُجْ من صَدْرِ عُثْمَانَ قال عُثْمَانُ فما نَسِيتُ منه شيئا بَعْدُ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ

 

Usman Ben Abi Al-As said ' ' I complained about forgetfulness of the Quran in the presence of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants). Then the prophet rejected me and said ' ' O ' Devil! Leave the chest of Usman. Usman said ' ' I never forgot something ' '.

After narrating this narration, Heithami has said

 

 رواه الطبراني وفيه عثمان بن بشر ولم أعرفه وبقية رجاله ثقات

Tabarani has narrated this narration and there is Usman Bashar in its document that I do not know him. However, other narrators are all reliable.

Usman Ben Bashar that Heithami has not known him has been Tosikh by Ibn Abi Hatam Razi

 

عثمان بن بشر الطائفي الثقفى روى عن بشر بن عاصم وعبد الله بن أبى شديد سمع منه سليم سمعت أبى يقول ذلك نا عبد الرحمن قال ذكره أبى عن إسحاق بن منصور عن يحيى بن معين انه قال عثمان بن بشر الثقفى ثقة.

Usman Ben Bashar has heard narrations from Bashar Ben Asem and Abdullah Ben Abi a lot. It has been narrated from Yahya Ben Moein that Usman Ben Bashar Saghafi is reliable.

Abu Usman Jahez has written in the books ' ' Al-Bersan and ' ' Al-Arjan ' '

 

ومن الأشراف أيضاً عثمان بن أبي العاص وإليه يضاف شط عثمان، شكا إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نسيان القرآن فتفل في فيه فكان بعد ذلك لا ينسى ما حفظ منه.

Usman Ben Abi Al-As complained about the forgetfulness of the Quran to the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants). Then the prophet put the spit of his mouth to his mouth.  Then he did not forget whatever he had not memorized.

It is strange that the owner of the miracle and the healer of others has forgotten the Quran himself.

 

Doesn 't this matter remind you of this famous maxim?

 

 If you were a physician, you would cure your head.

 

 

Forgetting Quran is one of big sins:

 

Most of the Sunni scientists have issued fatwa clearly that forgetting the verses of the Quran is one of big sins. We will refer to the name and the remark of 22 dignitaries of the history of Sunni jurisprudence according to the history of their decease from different religions. 

 

 

1. Abu Al-Makarem Al-Royani Al-Shafei (died in 523 A.H.)

 

Abu Al-Makarem Royani, one of dignitaries of the history of Shafei, has issued fatwa that forgetting Quran is one of big sins. Zein Al-Din Iraqi has written about the design Al-Tasrib

 

وقد ذكر صاحب العدة وهو أبو المكارم الروياني من أصحابنا أن نسيان القرآن من الكبائر

Abu Al-Makarem Royani , the writer of the book ' ' Ede ' ' that is our companions ( Shafei religion) has said ' ' forgetting Quran is one of big sins ' '.

 

Al-Araghi, Abu Al-Fazl Zein Al-Din Abd Al-Rahim Ben Al-Hossein (died in 806 hejira), Tarh Al-Tathrib Fi Sharh Al-Taghrib, v 3 p 93, Researched by: Abd Al-Ghader Muhammad Ali, Published by: Dar Al-Kotob Al-Elmie, Beirut, First Edition, 2000

 

Ibn Hajar Asghalani explains the remark of Abu Al-Makarem Royani and his reason in this way  

 

وقد قال به من الشافعية أبو المكارم والروياني واحتج بان الأعراض عن التلاوة يتسبب عنه نسيان القرآن ونسيانه يدل على عدم الاعتناء به والتهاون بأمره.

Abu Al-Makarem Royani is one of followers of this point of view (forgetting Quran is a big sin) and one of supports in the Shafei religion. He has reasoned ' ' avoiding reciting Quran results in forgetting it and forgetting Quran is lack of paying attention to it and laxity in affairs related to the Quran.

2. Abu Al-Faraj Ibn Al-Juzi (died in 597 A.H.)

 

 الباب التاسع والعشرون في التحذير من العقوبات

اعلم أن العقوبة تختلف فتارة تتعجل وتارة تتأخر وتارة يظهر أثرها وتارة يخفى

وأطرف العقوبات مالا يحس بها المعاقب وأشدها العقوبة بسلب الايمان والمعرفة ودون ذلك موت القلوب ومحو لذة المناجاة منه وقوة الحرص على الذنب ونسيان القرآن وإهمال الإستغفار ونحو ذلك مما ضرره في الدين.

 

Chapter 29 is about making others scare from tortures:

 

You know that tortures are different. Sometimes, they can be done soon and sometimes, their implementation delayed. Sometimes, its effect can be revealed and sometimes, its effect can be hidden. The most quick is that the person that is tortured does not feel it. The most severe torture is to usurp faith and understanding. The heart attack, the spoilt of enjoyment of prayer with God, the increase of greedy to sin, forgetting Quran, laxity in seeking forgiveness from God and things that harm the religion are considered tortures in less severe degree.

3. Abu Abdullah Al-Ghortebi (died in 671 A.H.)

 

Narrating from Ghortebi, the Sunni famous interpreter, Ibn Hajar Asghalani has written

 

 وقال القرطبي من حفظ القرآن أو بعضه فقد علت رتبته بالنسبة إلى من لم يحفظه فإذا أخل بهذه الرتبة الدينية حتى تزحزح عنها ناسب أن يعاقب على ذلك فان ترك معاهدة القرآن يفضي إلى الرجوع إلى الجهل والرجوع إلى الجهل بعد العلم شديد.

 

Ghortebi has said ' ' the rank of everyone that memorizes the whole Quran some of its verses will be higher than the persons that do not memorize it ' '. Hence, everyone that makes problems in this religious rank, as he gets away from this rank, is qualified to be tortured because giving up taking care of the Quran results in ignorance and returning to ignorance is considered as a bad action after science.                                                                                                           

Al-Asghalani Al-Shafei, Ahmad Ben Ali Ben Hajar Abu Al-Fazl (died in 852 hejira), Fatah Al-Bari Sharh Sahih Bokhari,v 9 p 86,  Researched by: Moheb Al-Din Al-Khatib, Published by: Dar Al-Marefat, Beirut

 

Alame Monavi has narrated this matter from Ghortebi

 

Al-Manavi, Muhammad Abd Al-Rauf Ben Ali Ben Zein Al-Abedin (died in 1031 hejira), Feiz Al-Ghadir Sharh Al-Jame Al-Saghir, v 4 p 313, Published by: Al-Maktab Al-Tejariye Al-Kobra, Egypt, First Edition, 1356 hejira

 

 

Ibn Hajar Heithami has narrated the remark of Ghortebi in this way 

 

     ومنها قال القرطبي لا يقال حفظ جميع القرآن ليس واجبا على الأعيان فكيف يذم من تغافل عن حفظه لأنا نقول من جمعه فقد علت رتبته وشرف في نفسه وقومه وكيف لا ومن حفظه فقد أدرجت النبوة بين جنبيه وصار ممن يقال فيه هو من أهل الله وخاصته فإذا كان كذلك فمن المناسب تغليظ العقوبة على من أخل بمرتبته الدينية ومؤاخذته بما لا يؤاخذ به غيره وترك معاهدة القرآن يؤدي إلى الجهالة انتهى.

One of them (the reason of forgetfulness of Quran is considered as a big sin) is the remark of Ghortebi ' ' it has not been recommended that memorizing the whole Quran is not necessary whereas a person that ignores memorizing it has been disapproved because we say ' ' every one that collects Quran (he memorizes the whole Quran) will increase his rank and honor ' '. It is completely right; everyone that memorizes the Quran has kept prophecy into his chest and they will be called ' ' those nearest to God ' '. Hence, if someone harms this religious rank, it is appropriate that his punishment will be doubled and he will be summoned in the way that someone else has not been summoned.

4. Mahay Al-Din Nuvi (died in 676 A.H.)

 

ومما عد من الكبائر الظهار وأكل لحم الخنزير والميتة بلا عذر... وترك الأمر بالمعروف على إطلاقهما ونسيان القرآن وإحراق مطلق الحيوان....

 

Things that have been considered as great sins include ' ' Zahar, eating the meat of pork and the dead without any reasons, giving up admonishing others to do right and preventing others to do wrong, forgetting the Quran, firing animals and …

5. Ibn Teimie Harani (died in 628 A.H.)

 

مسألة 183: في رجل يتلو القرآن مخافة النسيان، ورجاء الثواب فهل يؤجر على قراءته للدراسة ومخافة النسيان أم لا وقد ذكر رجل ممن ينسب إلى العلم أن القاريء إذا قرأ للدراسة مخافة النسيان أنه لا يؤجر فهل قوله صحيح أم لا؟

الجواب بل إذا قرأ القرآن لله - تعالى - فإنه يثاب على ذلك بكل حال، ولو قصد بقراءته أنه يقرؤه لئلا ينساه فإن نسيان القرآن من الذنوب فإذا قصد بالقراءة أداء الواجب عليه من دوام حفظه للقرآن، واجتناب ما نهى عنه من إهماله حتى ينساه فقد قصد طاعة الله فكيف لا يثاب

 

وفي الصحيحين: عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: استذكروا القرآن فلهو أشد تقصيا من صدور الرجال من النعم من عقلها، وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: عرضت علي سيئات أمتي فرأيت من مساوئ أعمالها الرجل يؤتيه الله آية من القرآن فينام عنها حتى ينساها،

Matter 183 is about a man that recites Quran for the sake of fear of forgetting it and for the hope of its reward. Will such a person that recites Quran for training or fear of its forgetfulness be rewarded or not? Is his remark right or not?

 

Answer: if someone recites the Quran because of God, he will be rewarded and even if he recites the Quran because of fear of forgetting Quran, he will be also rewarded since forgetting Quran is considered as sins. Hence, if someone recites the Quran in order to fulfill a necessary action for supporting the Quran or in order to separate from what God has prohibited us, laxity in memorizing Quran and forgetting, and its purpose is to obey God, how will he be rewarded?

 

It has been narrated in the book ' ' Sahihin( Bokhari and Moslem) that the messenger of God( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) has stated ' ' recite the Quran a lot since forgetting the Quran is as quickly as the escape of animals from tie ' '.   he also stated ' ' the sins of my nation were presented to me; I knew that a sin that equaled with all of sins of a person was ' ' God descends a verse to human and then he forgets it after a while ' '.

6. Ala Al-Din Al-Bokhari (died in 730 A.H.)

 

قال الشيخ رحمه الله إنما يصير النسيان عذرا في حق الشرع إذا لم يكن غفلة فأما إذا كان عن غفلة فلا يكون عذرا كما في حق آدم عليه السلام وكنسيان المرء ما حفظه مع قدرته على تذكاره بالتكرار فإنه إنما يقع فيه بتقصيره فيصلح سببا للعتاب ولهذا يستحق الوعيد من نسي القرآن بعدما حفظه مع قدرته على التذكار بالتكرار.

Sheikh has said ' ' if forgetfulness does not happen from ignorance, it will be considered as an excuse from the point of view of the religion. However, if it happens from ignorance, it will not be considered as an excuse as it has been bout human in this way. Human may forget what memorize whereas human can review and repeat it. If they do not review and repeat what they memorize, they will be blamed. Therefore, if someone memorizes the Quran and forgets it, she or he will be tortured.

( وَمِنْهَا نِسْيَانُ الْقُرْآنِ بَعْدَ تَعَلُّمِهِ )... لِأَنَّهُ إنَّمَا نَشَأَ عَنْ تَشَاغُلِهِ عَنْهَا بِلَهْوٍ أَوْ فُضُولٍ أَوْ لِاسْتِخْفَافِهِ بِهَا وَتَهَاوُنِهِ بِشَأْنِهَا وَعَدَمِ احْتِرَامِهِ لِأَمْرِهَا فَيَعْظُمُ ذَنْبُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لِاسْتِهَانَةِ الْعَبْدِ لَهُ بِإِعْرَاضِهِ عَنْ كَلَامِهِ، وَفِيهِ أَنَّ نِسْيَانَ الْقُرْآنِ كَبِيرَةٌ وَلَوْ بَعْضًا مِنْهُ وَهَذَا لَا يُنَاقِضُهُ خَبَرُ (رُفِعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأُ وَالنِّسْيَانُ)؛ لِأَنَّ الْمَعْدُودَ هُنَا ذَنْبُ التَّفْرِيطِ فِي مَحْفُوظِهِ لِعَدَمِ تَعَاهُدِهِ وَدَرْسِهِ

 

One of great sins is forgetting Quran after learning it because its cause is dealing with futile and irrelevant things and ignoring and disrespecting Quran.

This matter is not in contrast with the narration ' ' the punishment of mistakes and forgetting Quran have been removed from the nation ' ' because lack of attention to whatever has been memorized has been considered as sin in spite of his commitment to it.

22. Abd Al-Hamid Al-Shervani 

ومنع الزكاة وترك الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر مع القدرة ونسيان القرآن واليأس من رحمة الله.

Big sins:            

Not giving zakat, giving up admonishing others to right and dissuading otothers to do wrong in spite of having power and forgetting the Quran, desperation from the mercy of God and....  

 

Al-Shervani Al-Talesi Al-Shafei, Abd Al-Hamid Ben Musa Ben Yazid Ben Musa, Havashi Al-Shervani Ala Tohfat Al-Mohtaj be Sharh Al-Menhaj, v 10 p 214, Published by: Dar Al-Fekr, Beirut

 

We would like to ask Sunni scientists ' ' did the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) commit this sin along with polytheism to God, not giving zakat and …or Bokhari and Moslem have insulted the prophet? ' '

 

Conclusion

 

A lot of narrations have been narrated about disapproving the Quran and its severe tortures in the Sunni sources and even some have considered it the greatest sin that human may enter the doomsday with it and faces God.             

 

Most of jurisprudents of Sunni different religions have considered as one of big sins along with polytheism to God, the cursing the companions, not giving zakat, and …                                                                                                          

 

According to these matters, can we believe that the prophet of God has forgotten the verses of the Quran although Quran is considered as the permanent miracle of the prophet?                                                                                           

                                                                                                     

Can Sunni scientists accept that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) will enter the doomsday as he suffers from leprosy? 

 

                                                                                             

Hence, it seems that forgetfulness of Quran by the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) is a vulgar insult that bokhari and Moslem have attributed it to the prophet of God without considering its consequences.
