Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Shaykh Badr ibn Naadir al-Mashaaree:
“One
of his (Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen's) students informed me that
he slept very little at night during the times of major crises
within the Ummah,
especially during the days of the Gulf War and the tragedy
of our brothers (and sisters) in Bosnia and Chechnya; Whereby
he would stand the night (in prayer) beseeching His Lord for
their victory (against their enemies) and firmness (upon Islaam)
and to repel the plans of the enemies of the religion against
them; He also prayed for the Muslims (in general) and encouraged
them to stand by (support) them (in their hardship against
their enemies).”
