Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، وَأَبُو عُمَرَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ .

Aḥmad ibn Sinān and Abū ʿUmar narrated to us, both saying: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī narrated to us, from Mālik ibn Anas, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade taking the Qurʾān into enemy territory for fear that the enemy might seize it.
