الدارمي:٣٤٠١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ شُيُوخِ مِصْرَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «الْقُرْآنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ»

malik:21-7Yaḥyá > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ
