The Prophet said, “The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” He also said, “A man who has nothing of the Quran within him is like a ruined house.” He said, “The Quran is like tethered camels: if their owner regularly tends to them, he retains them, but if he neglects them, they stray.” He—peace and blessings be upon him—said, “Do not travel with the Quran into enemy territory.” In another hadith, he said, “Do not travel with copies of the Quran into enemy territory, for I fear that they may seize them.”
