The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: If a person mentions that he has memorized the Qur’an or memorized some of the hadiths, for example, does this fall under His saying, the Exalted:[Ad-Duhaa 93:11]
Answer:
It depends on his intention. If he mentions it as a way of thanking Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that is good. If he mentions it as a way of boasting and magnifying himself, that is not permissible. Yes.
