Do I have to memorise the Quran to be a Talib ilm?

[@Anonymous-411]

Minimum Hufaz of the Quran, to even step into the arena. Yet we have so called Scholars who can barely read Arabic, crazy times.

Ibn Juraij رحمه الله reported: I came to ʿAṭāʾ (ibn Abī Rabāḥ) رحمه الله seeking to study ḥadīth with him and ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr رحمه الله was with him. ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUbayd رحمه الله asked me: “Have you read (ie: memorized) the Qurʾān?” I said: “No.” He said “Go and memorize the Qurʾān (first) and then seek this knowledge.” [al-Khaṭīb al-Baġdādī Tārīkh Baġdād, 12/142] Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ Verily, one who does not memorize anything from the Quran is like a ruined house. Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2913, Grade: Sahih Imam an-Nawawi said, “The pious predecessors would never teach hadeeth and fiqh (jurisprudence) except to someone who had memorised the Qur’an.” Al-Majmoo’ (1/38) Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr also said, “Seeking knowledge is in consecutive levels and ranks, it does not befit that they should be bypassed. Whoever bypasses them at once, then he has bypassed the path of the pious predecessors -may Allah have mercy on them. Whoever bypasses them intentionally will go astray and whoever bypasses them with sincere effort with fall into error. The first of knowledge is memorising the Book of Allah `azza wa jall and understanding it…” Jami’ Bayan al-‘ilm wa fadhlihi (2/166) Abul-Fadhl al-Razi said: “It was upon the memorisation and teaching (of Qur’aan) that the hearts of the first ones (of this nation) and those after them lay.” Fadha’il al-Qur’aan pg. 33 ☝️So whoever wishes to take the pious predecessors as an example and want to be a talib ul 3lm, then upon him is to memorise the Qur’an

Assalamu alaikum. Unrelated question, but are you the person who posted various series onto youtube like tuhfah alatfal, ajjrumiyyah and others? If you are, is there a link to your channel/old series? I can't seem to find the videos anywhere anymore
