قال العلامة الشيخ محمد بن صالح العثيمين - رحمه الله تبارك وتعالى :

|[ الإنسان إذا كان مؤدباً كان محبوباً عند الناس ، فالجفاء وعدم المبالاة بالناس خُلق ذميم. |]

(تفسير سورة الصافات ١١٢)

The Humility of Shaykh Ibn Bāz رحمه الله


One of the Yemeni brothers, who was a student of Shaykh Ibn Bāz, said:

“I used to attend the lessons of Shaykh Ibn Bāz while I was in extreme poverty and need, possessing nothing of the goods of this world. One time, I wanted to please the Shaykh, so I said to myself: I will invite him for dinner—while I was certain that the Shaykh would refuse due to his commitments and busy schedule. After the Maghrib lesson, I said to the Shaykh: ‘O Shaykh, will you have dinner at my place today?’ The Shaykh replied: ‘Gladly,’ and he agreed. I was taken aback! I had nothing to offer him.

The Shaykh then said: ‘But I have two conditions: the first is that you do not burden yourself.’ He said: I thought to myself, I have nothing to begin with. ‘And the second condition is that you go with me now to an appointment, and afterward to your house.’ I agreed, and we set off in the car, with the driver driving and me sitting next to the Shaykh. Suddenly there were guards, security, and palaces, and the security made way for the Shaykh. He said: We arrived at a palace, and it turned out to be the palace of King Fahd. We entered, and there were princes and the king seated, waiting for the Shaykh. The Shaykh used to give them a lesson after the ʿIshāʾ prayer, and the king would compel the princes to attend.

I was extremely embarrassed—my clothes were dirty, and I did not know how to conceal anything. The Shaykh gave the lesson, and the princes and the king were seated with the utmost decorum. Then the Shaykh prepared to leave, so they said: ‘No, O Shaykh, dinner is ready.’ There was a table with various kinds of food that I had never seen before, and I was very happy. But the Shaykh excused himself and said: ‘I have been invited tonight.’ They insisted, while he continued to excuse himself, until one of them said: ‘Invited by whom? And we will seek permission for you from him, O Shaykh.’ He said: I was about to speak and say, ‘At my place,’ so that they would excuse me, but the Shaykh refused to disclose and continued to excuse himself.

When they found no alternative, they left him. He said: We then went to my house, and by Allah, I had nothing except dry bread and leftover food—some cheese—which I presented to the Shaykh. He ate, then continued supplicating for me and thanking me, saying: ‘May Allah reward you with good. You have done well, you have excelled, you have honored, and you have fed.’ I was extremely happy. It was as if the Shaykh wanted to show him that my invitation to him took precedence over the invitation of the king, and that the matter is not about kings and palaces.

These were the manners of our Shaykh, the great scholar Shaykh Ibn Bāz. He was not from the people of this world. May Allah have vast mercy upon him and gather us with him among the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous—and excellent are those as companions."

‘Amr bin Qais rahimahullāh would say: “Successful is he who rectifies himself prior to [the month of] Ramaḍān.” (Latāif Al-Ma’ārif, 137).

Imam al-Safarīnī rahimahu’Allah said:

“Calamities vary, and the greatest of them is the calamity in religion. So if you see a person who is heedless of what has afflicted his religion — by committing sins, missing the Friday prayer and the congregational prayers, and neglecting the times of acts of obedience — then know that he is dead, feeling no pain from the calamity. Indeed, you do not make the dead hear.”

[Ghidhaa al-Albab li Sharh Mandhumah al-Adab 2/334]

‏قال الإمام السفاريني -رحمه الله- :

‏|[ المصائب تتفاوت، وأعظمها المصيبة في الدين؛ فإذا رأيت إنساناً لا يبالي بما أصابه في دينه من ارتكاب الذنوب، *وفوات الجمعة والجماعة* وأوقات الطاعات؛ فاعلم أنه ميت لا يحس بألم المصيبة، فإنك لا تسمع الموتى! |]

Al-Hāfidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, rahimahullāh, said:

“The greatest of what the love of Allah is attained by from the voluntary acts is the recitation of the Qur’an, and especially with contemplation.”

Imām Ibn al-Uthaymeen (rahimahu’Allah) said:

“The common people, their affair is problematic. They always describe the Messenger ﷺ as ‘the Beloved of Allah.’ So we say:

‘You have erred and you have diminished your Prophet ﷺ, for the Messenger is the Close Friend (Khalīl) of Allah.

Because if you describe him ﷺ with love, you have brought him down from attaining its ultimate goal.’”

[Majmū Rasāʾil 9/396]

قال الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه اللّٰه تعالى

العامة مشكل أمرهم ، دائما يصفون الرسول ﷺ بأنه حبيب اللّٰه ، فنقول :

أخطأتم وتنقصتم نبيكم فالرسول خليل اللّٰه

لأنكم إذا وصفتموه بالمحبة أنزلتموه عن بلوغ غايتها.

Sh al- Allamah Salih al-Fawzān hafidahu'āllah said

"No one should praise himself, and no one should feel safe from trials so long as he is alive.

As long as a person is alive, he is exposed to tribulation.

Scholars of learned rabbis went astray; their feet slipped, and an evil ending was decreed for them, despite being scholars.

So the danger is severe, and a person cannot feel secure for himself that his foot will not slip into misguidance.”

[Īa’nat al-Mustafīd (1/129)]

The More One Seeks Knowledge, the More One Becomes Aware of His Ignorance.

Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd rahimhau’Allah wrote:

“It was said knowledge is three spans:

Whosoever enters the first span will become arrogant, and whosoever enters the second span will become humble, and whosoever enters the third span will know that he knows nothing”.

[“Hilyat Talib-ul-Ilm”, 41].

‏العلم ثلاثة أشبار، من دخل في الشبر الأول، تكبر ومن دخل في الشبر الثانى، تواضع ومن دخل في الشبر الثالث، علم أنه ما يعلم.
‏وهذا اللفظ في حلية طالب العلم للشيخ بكر. والله أعلم.
