The answer

Ibn Abd al-Barr narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she recited twelve thousand verses of poetry to Labid. Al-Dhahabi, in "Siyar A'lam al-Nubala'," mentioned on the authority of Al-Sha'bi that Aisha said, "I recited about a thousand verses to Labid." It is not known that she memorized the number mentioned in the question from the poetry of Imru' al-Qais. As for her memorization of the Quran, Al-Suyuti, in "Al-Itqan," quoted Ibn Ubayd in his book on recitations that she was among the migrant reciters. It is well-known that she was among those who narrated many hadiths, and she was knowledgeable in biographies, genealogies, and medicine.
