حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الإِبِلِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ إِنْ عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا ذَهَبَتْ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, যে ব্যক্তি অন্তরে কুরআন গেঁথে (মুখস্থ) রাখে তার দৃষ্টান্ত হচ্ছে ঐ মালিকের ন্যায়, যে উট বেঁধে রাখে। যদি সে উট বেঁধে রাখে, তবে সে উট তার নিয়ন্ত্রণে থাকে, কিন্তু যদি সে বাঁধন খুলে দেয়, তবে তা নিয়ন্ত্রণের বাইরে চলে যায়। [মুসলিম ৬/৩৩, হাঃ ৭৮৯, আহমাদ ৪৬৬৫] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪৬৫৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
