“He
would...become choked by the news”

Concerning
the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez
ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah),
Doctor Naasir ibn Misfir az-Zahraanee narrates:
“Whenever
it was mentioned to the Shaykh about those from the scholars
who had passed away, especially those who were from amongst
his close friends and scholars, he would be deeply affected.
He would pray for them a lot, and even cry and become choked
by the news.
One
day he spoke about his Shaykh, al-‘Allaamah
Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (rahima-hullaah),
but was unable to hold himself back from crying. I would sit
beside him many times, whilst his assistant would read to
us the fataawa of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (rahima-hullaah),
and in some instances Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (rahima-hullaah)
would refute Shaykh Ibn Baaz himself, at which the Shaykh
would smile and pray for him and ask Allaah to have mercy
upon him.”
