On the authority of Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no person who recites the Qur'an and then forgets it, but that he will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection mutilated (ajdham)." (1)

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the unknown status of ʿĪsā — namely Ibn Fāʾid — for no one narrated from him other than Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, and Ibn al-Madīnī said: unknown. Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād — namely al-Hāshimī, their freed slave — is weak, and he was inconsistent in its chain of transmission: sometimes he says: on the authority of ʿĪsā ibn Fāʾid, on the authority of a man, on the authority of Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah; sometimes he narrates it omitting the unnamed man; and sometimes he narrates it on the authority of ʿĪsā, on the authority of ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit. Ibn Idrīs: he is ʿAbdullāh al-Awdī.

It was also recorded by ʿAbd al-Razzāq in his Muṣannaf (5989), ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd (307), al-Ṭabarānī (5391), and al-Khaṭīb in al-Jāmiʿ li-Aḥkām al-Rāwī wa-Ādāb al-Sāmiʿ (85), via multiple paths from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, with this chain.

It was also recorded by Abū ʿUbayd in Gharīb al-Ḥadīth 3/48, Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr in the exegesis section of his Sunan (18), Ibn Abī Shaybah 10/478, Aḥmad in his Musnad (22456) and (22463), ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd (306), al-Dārimī (3340), al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Usāmah in his Musnad as found in Ithāf al-Khiyarah (5729), Ibrāhīm al-Ḥarbī in Gharīb al-Ḥadīth 2/428, al-Bazzār in his Musnad (3739), Muḥammad ibn Naṣr al-Marwazī in Mukhtaṣar Qiyām al-Layl (219), al-Ṭabarānī in al-Kabīr (5390) and (5392), al-Bayhaqī in Shuʿab al-Īmān (1817) and (1818), al-Khaṭīb in al-Jāmiʿ li-Akhlāq al-Rāwī (86), and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhīd 14/132, via multiple paths from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, on the authority of ʿĪsā ibn Fāʾid, on the authority of a man, on the authority of Saʿd, with it. In the printed edition of al-Ithāf, ʿĪsā ibn Fāʾid was omitted from al-Ḥārith's chain of transmission, and in al-Ṭabarānī his name appears as ʿĪsā ibn Laqīṭ, while in al-Bayhaqī and al-Khaṭīb it appears as ʿĪsā ibn Laqīṭ or Iyād ibn Laqīṭ, with uncertainty — and all of that is an error, for the correct form of his name is ʿĪsā ibn Fāʾid.

It was also recorded by Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhīd 14/131–132 via the path of Shuʿbah, on the authority of Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, on the authority of a man from the Jazīrah called ʿĪsā — narrating — on the authority of Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah, =
