then returned his notes no one would expect such words from a bandit 
however looking not at the one who said these words but at the one who 
made him say these words Al-Ghazali took them as a warning by Allah 
within three years he had memorized all of his notes he was no longer 
dependent on the textbooks and the study notes he was now aspiring to 
learn even more so he traveled to Nishapur he then studied under imam
