Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah from al- ‘Abbas ibn ‘Amir from al-Hajjaj al-Khashshab from abu Kahmas al-Haythami ibn ‘Ubayd who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who reads the Holy Quran and then forgets and I repeated it before him three times asking, ‘Is it an offense on his part?’ The Imam said, ‘No.’”
