It is reported that Al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. Muzāḥim, the famous scholar of tafsīr from the Tābiʿīn, said:
No one who has learned Qurān and then forgotten it except due to a sin he has committed, because Allāh the most high said:
وَمَآ أَصَـٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ
Qurān 42:30
“And no calamity befalls you except due to what your own hands have earnt.”
And forgetting the Qurān is one of the greatest calamities.
