Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated by Shaykh 'Aasim ibn 'Abdil-Mun'im al-Maree:
“And
from the special characteristics for which he was well-known
was his steadfastness in (seeking) knowledge. Some of the
relatives of Shaykh 'Abdullaah ibn Muhammad al-Maani' (rahima-hullaah),
who was a judge in 'Unayzah until 1360 AH (1936 AD) mentioned
that the Shaykh (Ibn 'Uthaymeen) would arrive early every
morning at their home, whilst carrying his papers and books.
He would knock on the door, extend greetings and seek permission
to ascend to the library. There he would remain until just
before (the time of) Zhuhr,
whereby he would descend, extend greetings and depart. This
was whilst he was still young and had not yet reached the
age of puberty.”
