عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ القُرْآنِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الإِبِلِ المُعَقَّلَةِ، إِنْ عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا ذَهَبَتْ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa bin Omari -radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake yeye na baba yake -kwamba Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu -rehema na amani ziwe juu yake - amesema: "Hakika mfano wa mtu wa Qur'ani ni sawa na mfano wa mmiliki wa ngamia aliyeachwa pasina kufungwa, akimuangalia kila mara atamzuia (kutoroka), na akimuachilia atatoroka".
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the companion of the Qur’an is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will hold them; but if he releases them, they will run away."
