And from the accuracy of the Shaykh's memorisation...

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated by Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez as-Sad.haan:

"And from the accuracy of the Shaykh's memorisation, I once asked him in a lesson: "O Shaykh, the hadeeth which al-Haafidth (ibn Hajar al-Asqalaanee) mentions in Buloogh al-Maraam is:

...and I paused, and he said: "this (hadeeth) is not in Buloogh (al-Maraam)".

So I replied: "O Shaykh, I read it in Buloogh (al-Maraam)".

So he began to think, then said: "this (hadeeth) is not in Buloogh (al-Maraam)".

So one of the brothers indicated to me that the Shaykh was adamant.

So I said: "O Shaykh, I have read it".

He said: "Bring it (Buloogh al-Maraam) with you tomorrow", and this lesson took place on a Thursday.

So I began to turn over the pages of Buloogh (al-Maraam), page by page, but did not come across it. And after some time had passed, I would guess it was about 4 to 5 months, I found the hadeeth in Buloogh (al-Maraam), so I came to the Shaykh and said: "O Shaykh, may Allaah improve your affairs, I asked you about a hadeeth, and mentioned to you that it was in Buloogh (al-Maraam) and you denied it, and I have it with me now".

So he said: "Read".

So I said: "On the authority of Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu), who said: The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

He said: "Yes, however, you asked about the (hadeeth whose) wording (was):

...as for this hadeeth, then it is in (Saheeh) al-Bukhaaree".
