“...he
memorised the Qur.aan in 6 months...”

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Shaykh Ibraaheem ibn Hamad al-Jutaylee,
who knew the Shaykh for more than 45 years, whilst also studying
under him for more than 20 years:
“Indeed,
he memorised the Qur.aan in 6 months under the guidance of
a blind teacher, 'Alee ibn 'Abdillaah ash-Shuhaytaan.”

Note:
Based upon this narration it is clear the Shaykh did not memorise
the Qur.aan under the guidance of his grandfather, ‘Abdur-Rahmaan
Ibn Sulaymaan ‘Aal Daamigh, as is popularly narrated,
rather he merely read the Qur.aan to him, whilst later memorising
it under the guidance of ash-Shuhaytaan.
