Story of how Anwar Shah Kashmiri became a big scholar
There was one big scholar, Hazrat Allama Kashmiri (rah), he had such a memory that he could remember whatever he read, maybe even after twenty years. So once Mufti Kifayatullah (rah), he was speaking to his students and then he asked a question. “Can you tell me how Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rah) became such a big scholar?” Someone said, “he was very intelligent”. The other one replied, “O he was a big scholar of Quran”. Someone said “No, big scholar of Hadith”. One said “he was a good poet”.
But he (Mufti Kifayatullah) kept quiet. Then the students, they asked him, “Hazrat can you tell us how he achieved these heights and became such a big scholar?” Then Mufti Kifayatullah (rah) replied that once this question was asked from Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rah) himself. How you became such a big scholar?
He replied that I had a lot of adab for the books of knowledge. I had lot of adab. He said (the questioner) “everyone makes adab of this knowledge”. He said “no, I never touched any Islamic book without wudhu. And if I used to put the books, one on the other, I used to take care of their ranks.
For example, I never put any book of Hadith on Quran. I never put any book of fiqh on Hadith. I never put any book of History on the book of Fiqh. So even on placing the books I used to take care of their ranks. Allahu Akbar! So because he had a lot of adab for the books, so Allah swt gave him such a beneficial knowledge, he had such a power of memorization that he remembered whatever he read even after twenty years of his life.
