If he keeps them tied, he will control them, but if he releases them, they will run away."4 narrators Bukhari · 5032بِئْسَ مَا لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ : نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ ، بَلْ نُسِّيَ وَاسْتَذْكِرُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النَّعَمِI heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying...
