The Shaykh disliked attention...

Concerning
the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Abu Khaalid 'Abdul-Kareem al-Miqrin:
"As
is known to many Muslims, the Shaykh disliked attention as
well as titles and positions of importance.
The
Shaykh was a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, and
as such he requested that I not mention this of him whilst
hosting the radio programme ((Noor 'alad-Darb)). He suggested
it was sufficient I introduce him as the imaam and khateeb
of al-Jaami' al-Kabeer masjid in the city of 'Unayzah, and
a teacher at the Faculty of Sharee'ah and Usool ad-Deen in
Qaseem.
So I adhered to the Shaykh's request since I began hosting
the programme until he died.
And
many of those who loved the Shaykh ask me:
"O
Abu Khaalid, why is it that you do not mention that the Shaykh
is a member of the Council of Senior Scholars?
So
I respond by telling them this was the Shaykh's personal request."
