Walikum Salam

I recently heard an Alim quote the incident in which Maulana Kashmiri was in a library in an Arab country, and was not given permission to copy from a manuscript, nor remove it from the library. On returning to India, Maulana rewrote the manuscript from memory, correcting some errors which were present in the original manuscript. After mentioning this incident, the Alim said that Maulana Kashmiri was not a Hafiz or Quran, and one of the explanations given is that each time he would sit to memorize a verse, he would recall all of the knowledge he had concerning the verse and he would be kept busy in its understanding and explanation etc, and would not be able to focus on its memorization.
