"I arrived in Riyadh on a cold night..."

Abu Talib

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah), ‘Abdullaah ibn Muhammad al-Mu’taaz narrates:

"Shaykh Muhammad Haamid who was the president of the group “As.haab al-Yameen” in Eritrea said:

“I arrived in Riyadh on a cold night, and did not have any (money) with which to pay for a hotel. So I thought about going to Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Baaz’s house; the time was 3 o’clock in the morning (and) I was hesitant, but (finally) decided to go (to the Shaykh’s house).

I arrived outside his old mud-style house and found someone asleep by the gate. Having awoken, he opened the gate for me and I conveyed my greetings to him ever so quietly so that no-one (else) hears me since it was so late at night.

After a short while, I saw the Shaykh himself descending from the stairs with a pot of food. He extended greetings to me and gave me the food, saying:

“I heard your voice and brought this food for you, assuming you had not eaten this night”.

By Allaah, I was unable to sleep (the rest of the night) due to weeping at such noble manners”.”

الحمدلله على كل حال
"I arrived on the barakah land of the anbiya'a..."

...and feel the 'atmosphere' of the land once lived by the greatest man on earth.

I hope to reach there too someday. InshaAllaah.

For those who dont know 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz, in order to appreciate the full story you must realize that

In 1927, when he was sixteen, he started losing his eyesight after being afflicted with a serious infection in his eyes. By the time he was twenty, he had totally lost his sight and become blind.

May Allah bless his soul. Ameen!
