Do what you have to and
I am going to give the lesson...

Concerning
the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Muhammad Raabi' Sulaymaan:
"Last
year (1420 A.H.), there occurred a memorable incident during
the month of Ramadhaan
whilst Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was giving his daily lessons
in al-Masjid
al-Haraam, Makkah.
The
specialist doctors who were supervising the Shaykh's condition
advised that the Shaykh's condition necessitated rest that
particular evening, rather than giving a lesson after
Salaat at-Taraaweeh.
The doctors needed to give him a blood transfusion and do
some medical checks on him. In response to them, the Shaykh
simply said:
"Do
what you have to and I am going to give the lesson".
So,
while he was giving the lesson, the doctors (around him) were
putting a needle into him to initiate the blood transfusion
process and complete the medical checkup, checking his temparature,
pulse and general health.
Such
was the level of importance the Shaykh gave to spreading knowledge
and teaching the people, (right) up until the last night of
Ramadhaan
before his departure from al-Masjid
al-Haraam."
