“Isn't
the graveyard in as-Saalihiyyah"!?

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad
ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah),
it has been narrated:
“Once,
King Khaalid (rahima hullaah) visited the Shaykh at his
house, as was the habit of the rulers in their high regard
and respect for the scholars. And when the King saw the
humble home of the Shaykh he offered to have a new house
built for him, (at which) the Shaykh thanked him saying:
“I am building a house in (the district of) as-Saalihiyyah
(a district in ‘Unayzah, Qaseem), however, the masjid
and the charitable trust are in need of (financial) assistance.
So, after the King left, some of those sitting in the gathering
said: O Shaykh, we did not know that you were building a
home in as-Saalihiyyah, (to which) the Shaykh replied:
“Isn’t the graveyard in as-Saalihiyyah”!?”
