The Marvellous Memory of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah)

Haashid bin Ismaa‘eel (rahimahullah) mentions the following:

When Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) was still a young boy, he would accompany us when we would attend the lessons of the great Muhadditheen of Basrah to learn Hadith. However, he would merely listen to the Muhadditheen narrating and would not write any of the Ahaadith that they narrated.
