Punishment for forgetting Islamic knowledge
Question
Is there any punishment for forgetting Islamic knowledge such as Ahaadeeth Sharief that were by hearted as there is forgetting the Quraan Sharief?

We have not come across any warning for forgetting ahaadeeth. The warning is for not practising.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
