1002/1 - Abu Mūsa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Keep on reciting this Qur’an, for by the One in Whose Hand the life of Muhammad is, the Qur’an slips away from memory faster than camels escaping their tying ropes.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1003/2 - Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The example of the person who knows the Qur’an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will control them; but if he releases them, they will run away.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

1) It vehemently urges us not to forget the Qur’anic verses we know by heart. To this end, we should revise and recite it frequently.
2) If you leave the Qur’an, it leaves you. So, a person who knows the Qur’an by heart should recite it on a regular basis.
3) Setting examples for educational purposes is one of the best methods for explaining.
The lesson we take from the above Hadīth is that we should revise and study useful knowledge on a constant basis, especially the noble Qur’an. Although Allah Almighty made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, it escapes the memory easily. Then, what about other areas of knowledge!
So, we should study and revise knowledge regularly.
