And none receive admonition except men of understanding."

So the Prophet (Peace be upon him) was ordered not to move his tongue, which he used to do, lest some words should escape his memory. 'It is for Us to collect it' means, We will collect it in your chest;' and its recitation' means, We will make you recite it. 'But when We recite it (i.e. when it is revealed to you), follow its recital; it is for Us to explain it and make it clear,' (i.e. We will explain it through your tongue). (Sahih Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 60, Number 450: Book of Prophetic Commentary on the Quran [Tafseer]) (Islambase Publications).
