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".
