"...who
started first?"

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Abu Khaalid 'Abdul-Kareem al-Miqrin:
"Once
while I was recording a special edition of the radio programme
((Noor ‘alad-Darb)) at the Shaykh’s house, we
heard the sound of workmen doing some work in a house close
to the Shaykh’s house, in fact they were the Shaykh’s
neighbours. It appeared they were doing some breaking in the
yard, and as such this noise affected the recording.
It
was then that the Shaykh stood up and proceeded to go to them
to inform them of this and to take a break. However, when
he got to the door of the room within which we were recording,
he turned around and said:
“O
‘Abdul-Kareem, who started first?”
So
I replied: “It was them O noble Shaykh”
So
from his piety and fear (of infringing upon their rights)
he left them alone. He said:
“We
will postpone our recording (session) for some time until
they finish their work.”
