أخبرني الشيخ إحسان إلهي ظهير رحمه الله عن شيخنا محمد الجوندلوي أنه كان لا يقرأ الجرائد والمجلات حتى لا يحفظها! لأنه كان إذا قرأ شيئاً حفظه

Shaykh Ihsaan Ilaahee Zaheer رحمه الله informed me about our Shaykh, Muhammad al-Gondalwi رحمه الله that he would not read the newspapers or magazines – so as not to [inadvertantly] memorise them! That is because if he were to read anything, he was [instantly] able to memorise it.
