When Imam Muhammad Bin Hasan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, the famous student of Imam-e-A’zam Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, came in his blessed court for gaining [Islamic] knowledge, Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه asked him: ‘Son, have you memorised the Holy Quran?’ Imam Muhammad Bin Hasan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه humbly replied: ‘No’. Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said: ‘First memorise the Holy Quran.’ After seven days, Imam Muhammad Bin Hasan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه came once again. Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said: ‘I had asked you to come after memorising the Holy Quran’. Imam Muhammad Bin Hasan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه humbly said: ‘I have memorised the Holy Quran.’ (Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 5, pp. 140)
Dear children! Have you realised that Allah Almighty had blessed Imam Muhammad Bin Hasan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه with such a great and excellent memory that he memorised the Holy Quran completely just in a week and became a ‘Hafiz of Quran’!
Dear children! If you also wish to have an excellent memory and remember permanently the lessons you memorise, make the habit of offering 5 [Fard] Salahs regularly. After [offering every] Salah, make Du’a in the court of Allah Almighty for having a good memory. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, you will observe its benefit yourself.
Ho jaya karay yaad sabaq jald Ilahi
Maula Tu mayra hafizah mazboot bana day
