Concerning
the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Abu Khaalid 'Abdul-Kareem al-Miqrin:
"One
night while we were recording the radio programme ((Noor 'alad-Darb)),
the Shaykh appeared as if sleep was taking over him. And from
that which is known about the Shaykh is that he has much patience,
tolerance and endurance towards anything within which there
is benefit for the ummah.
As such, he fought off his sleep and we continued with the
recording.
Later
he stopped and asked for an extension cable to the microphone
so he could continue answering the questions whilst standing.
So I gave him a small microphone (which he was able to attach
to his clothing) with an extension cable. The Shaykh then
continued answering the questions whilst walking to and fro
within the room so as to fight off his sleep. He continued
in this manner until we finished the (recording) session.
These
are the attributes of the real scholars and the importance
they attach to the affairs of the ummah
both with their knowledge and actions."
