*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Qataadah ibn Di’aamah as-Suddoosee (died 118 A.H.) said:

((I have never said to a muhaddith: “repeat it to me” and nor have my ears ever heard anything except that it has settled upon my heart (i.e. I have memorised it).))
