Is it better for a student of knowledge to memorize the texts of hadith in fiqh, or to start by memorizing the words of the scholars, such as al-Umdah?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it better for a student of knowledge to memorize the texts of hadith in fiqh, such as al-Umdah al-Ahkam and Bulugh al-Maram, or should he start by memorizing the words of the scholars, such as al-Umdah and al-Zad?

Answer:
My brother, the most important thing is not just memorization; the most important thing is to find a specialized teacher. If you find a specialized teacher in the discipline you want, you memorize and read to him, and he explains it to you. This is the path of seeking knowledge. That is, you limit yourself to one discipline: you memorize only the text of fiqh, and he explains it to you; you memorize the text of Bulugh in hadith, and the teacher explains it to you; you memorize a text in grammar, for example al-Qatr or al-Mishbah or al-Ajrumiyyah, and the teacher explains it to you.
You take a concise text from each discipline and memorize these texts bit by bit, not all at once in a single batch, but bit by bit, step by step. Whoever walks the path will arrive. You memorize and read to the scholars of knowledge, and they explain it to you. Yes, and knowledge serves knowledge; knowledge serves one another. So the knowledge of fiqh needs hadith, it needs grammar and the Arabic language, it needs tafsir, because knowledge serves one another. So do not be content with one discipline, saying, "I will not mix it up," and you do not get it right, and you do not take the other disciplines that surpass it and clarify it for you. Yes.
