Mishkat al-Masabih #2091
The Excellent Qualities of the Qur'an
Ibn Mas’ūd reported God’s messenger as saying, “It is wrong for one to say that he has forgotten such and such a verse, for he has been made to forget. Study the Qur’ān, for it is more apt to escape from men’s minds than animals.”
(Bukhārī and Muslim, Muslim adding "which are tethered”.)
