أَلْحَقَهُ وَالِدُهُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - لِيَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ الْكَرِيمَ عِنْدَ جَدِّهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمِّهِ الْمُعَلِّمِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّامِغِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ -، ثُمَّ تَعَلَّمَ الْكِتَابَةَ، وَشَيْئًا مِنَ الْحِسَابِ وَالنُّصُوصِ الْأَدَبِيَّةِ فِي مَدْرَسَةِ الْأُسْتَاذِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الدَّامِغِ - حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ -، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَلْتَحِقَ بِمَدْرَسَةِ الْمُعَلِّمِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشُّحَيْتَانِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - حَيْثُ حَفِظَ الْقُرْآنَ الْكَرِيمَ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبٍ وَلَمَّا يَتَجَاوَزِ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ بَعْدُ.

وَبِتَوْجِيهٍ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - أَقْبَلَ عَلَى طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ الشَّرْعِيِّ، وَكَانَ فَضِيلَةُ الشَّيْخِ الْعَلَّامَةُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ نَاصِرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - يُدَرِّسُ الْعُلُومَ.
