Muwatta Malik #1008
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, forbade travelling with a Qur'an in the land of the enemy.
Malik commented, "That is out of fear that the enemy will get hold of
it."
