Advice Regarding The Best Places For Memorisation
Khateeb al-Baghdadee (d. 463H) rahimahullaah said:
“The best places for memorisation are high places rather than the lower ones. And every place which is distant from any play and amusement, and where the heart is free from anything that will frighten and alarm him and thus busy him away, or [from anything that will] overcome him thus preventing/hindering him [from memorising]. Moreover, it is not praiseworthy that a man memorises around plants and greenery, nor at the river banks, nor on the open roadways.”

Advice Regarding The Best Times For Memorisation
Khateeb al-Baghdadee (d. 463H) rahimahullaah said:
“Know that for memorisation there are certain times that are crucial for whoever wishes to memorise to be aware of. Likewise, for memorisation there are places that are essential for those who are memorising to stick to. So the best times are al-As-haar (the pre-dawn periods of the night), then after that is a time in the middle part of the day and after that are al-Ghadawaat (the early morning periods) and not al-'Ashiyyaat (the evenings). Furthermore, memorisation in the night is better than memorisation in the day. It was said to one of them (the Salaf): ‘How did you gain knowledge?’ He said: ‘With a lamp and by sitting till the morning.’ Also it was asked to another, so he replied: 'With travel, staying awake at night and with getting up early for the pre-dawn.
And times of hunger are more commendable for memorising than from the times of being satisfied (i.e. after having eaten to the fill). It is incumbent for the one memorising that he checks and examines himself at times of hunger. Since there are some people who when the severity of the hunger and the hunger-pangs strike him, he is not able to memorise at all. So he should satisfy and remove that from himself by [eating] something little and light.'”
