Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. I read a hadith in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, guiding him to that supplication so that he would memorize the Noble Qur'an. Is that hadith authentic?
Answer:
No. This hadith is not in the Sahih. The hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught 'Ali a supplication to help him memorize the Qur'an is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And the Qur'an, praise be to Allah, is made easy for whoever takes an interest in memorizing it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Qamar 54:17] It depends on taking an interest and having a good intention, and on supplicating to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to help one memorize the Qur'an and other things. However, a specific supplication requires evidence, whereas general supplication is prescribed for memorizing the Qur'an and for other matters. Yes.

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
