Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Jawwaad
as-Saawee:
“Once
the Shaykh was invited by one of the charity organisations
in Jeddah, and the meeting prolonged into the night, close
to one o’clock in the morning; and it was not the habit
of the Shaykh to remain awake like this. It was noticeable
that he was overcome with exhaustion and tiredness and it
was evident he needed sleep, so we returned to the house where
the Shaykh was staying, and we entered and fell asleep right
away.
In
the middle of the night, at about 3:30(am), after we had been
sleeping for about only two hours – since we fell asleep
at about 1:30 – I noticed the sound of the Shaykh reciting
in prayer; and this at a time when he was desperately in need
of sleep and rest, (yet) he was standing before his Lord praying.”
