They may even commit bigger sins thinking that memorisation of the Qur'an would alleviate punishment.
They based this belief on the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying:
"If the Qur'an were put inside a container (i.e. memorised by man), it would never burn."*
This is from Iblis's deception of them. The punishment of a knowl-edgeable person (for committing sins) will be more severe than that of an unknowledgeable person because the added knowledge in-creases a person's liability.
*Al-TabaranI in al-Kabir, 17 /1 69, and it is weak.
