Is there a du’aa’ for memorizing the Qur’aan?
Question

                Is there a du’aa’ for memorizing the Qur’aan, and what is the way to memorize it?
Praise be to Allah. 
          I do not know of any du’aa’ for memorizing Qur’aan, except 
          one hadeeth. It was narrated that the Prophet 
          
          (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught it to ‘Ali ibn Abi 
          Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him), but there is some dispute as 
          to how sound it is. Ibn Katheer said concerning it: it is ghareeb, rather 
          munkar (i.e., it is not saheeh).
 
           Al-Sayyid Muhammad Ridaa said, commenting on it: 
          its style is that of the fabricated reports, not the style of the most 
          eloquent of mankind, Muhammad 
          
          (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or the style of ‘Ali ibn 
          Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him), nor the style of their 
          age.
 
           Al-Dhahabi said this is a shaadhdh (odd) munkar 
          hadeeth.
