Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Ibn 'Uthaymeen
Abu 'Abdullaah Muhammad ibn Saalih ibn Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen at-Tameemee an-Najdee was born in the city of Unayzah, Qaseem Region on 27th Ramadhaan 1347 A.H./1926 C.E. in a famous religious family.
He received his education from many prominent scholars like Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sa'dee,
Shaykh Muhammad Ameen ash-Shanqeetee and
Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz.
When he entered into teaching, a great number of students from inside and outside Saudi Arabia benefited from him. He had his own unique style of interpretation and explanation of religious points. He was from among those scholars who served Islaam without any type of religious prejudice and kept themselves away from the limitations of blind-following. He was distinguished in his great exertion of effort in religious matters and analogical deductions which clearly prove the religious understanding he possessed, and the correct usage of the principles of religion, he adopted.
In giving religious verdicts, like Shaykh ibn Baaz, his Fataawa were based on evidence from the Qur.aan and Sunnah. He had about fifty compilations to his credit. He taught Religious Fundamentals at the Sharee'ah Faculty of Imaam Muhammad ibn Sa'ood Islaamic University, Qaseem Branch. He was also a member of the Council of Senior Scholars of the Kingdom, and the Imaam and Khateeb of the big Masjid of Unayzah city.
Shaykh Subayyal, the head imaam of al-Masjid al-Haraam, mentions that Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen led the salaah in al-Masjid al-Haraam 5 times, maa shaa.-Allaah:
The Shaykh passed away on Wednesday 15 Shawwaal 1421 A.H. / 10 January 2001 C.E. He was 74 years of age. May Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) have Mercy upon his soul, aameen.

some stories regarding the sheikh rahimullah
After having prayed in al-Haram al-Makkee, the Shaykh left the Haram wanting to go somewhere by car. So he stopped a taxi and sat in. During the journey, the taxi driver wanted to get to know his passenger, so he asked: "Who are you O Shaykh?"
The Shaykh replied: "Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen"
Surprised, the taxi driver asked: "Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen?", thinking the Shaykh was lying to him, since he could not believe someone like the Shaykh would ever be a passenger in his taxi.
So the Shaykh replied: "Yes, the Shaykh"
So the taxi driver turned his head towards the Shaykh out of sheer surprise at this fare.
The Shaykh then asked: "Who are you O brother?"
So the taxi driver replied: "Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz!!"
The Shaykh laughed, enquiring: "You're Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz?!!!"
The taxi driver replied: "Yeah! just like you're Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen!!!"
So the Shaykh said: "But Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz is blind, and does not drive a car!!
Just then it dawned upon the taxi driver that the passenger sitting next to him was indeed the Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen. And what a fine mess he had got himself into now!"

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Ali al-Matawwu’ narrates that he accompanied the Shaykh (from ‘Unayzah) to al-Badaa.i’ – which was a distance of 15 kilometres from ‘Unayzah – for a lunch invitation.
After lunch, on their return home they noticed a man with a red beard (possibly dyed with henna), and a peaceful look about him waving his hand. The Shaykh said:
“Slow down, we’ll take him with us.”
So the Shaykh said to him:
“Where do you want to go?”
He said: “Take me with you to ‘Unayzah.”
So the Shaykh said to him:
“On two conditions:
First, that you do not smoke, and second, you increase in the remembrance of Allaah.”
The man responded: “As for smoking, then I do not smoke, however, I was a passenger with a man who smoked and (because of this) I asked him to drop me off (here), and as for the remembrance of Allaah, there is no Muslim except that he remembers Allaah.”
So the man got in the car.
(It was apparent throughout the journey that) the man was not aware he was in the company of Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen. So when they arrived at ‘Unayzah, the man said:
“Direct me to the house of Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, (as I have a question I need to ask him).”
So the Shaykh said to him: “Why did you not ask him when you met him in al-Badaa.i’?”
And the man said: “I did not meet him.”
The Shaykh said: “I saw you with my own eyes talking to him and greeting him.”
So the man said: “You are making fun of a man who is older than your father!”
The Shaykh smiled and said to him: “Pray the ‘Asr prayer at this (masjid) Jaami’ (Jaami’ ‘Unayzah) and you shall see him.”
The man then left without knowing he was talking to Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen himself.
After he finished praying the ‘Asr prayer, he saw the Shaykh in front having led the congregation in prayer. So he asked about him, and was informed that he is the Shaykh. So he approached the Shaykh and excused himself that he had not known (recognised) him (earlier), then asked his question. The Shaykh answered his question, and the man began to cry, supplicating for the Shaykh.

Some more stories concerning Shaykh Uthaymeen:
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”!?”

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated by Shaykh Hamad ibn ‘Abdillaah al-Jutaylee:
“I have many memories of the Shaykh, since I studied under him over (a period of) thirty years in the (study) circles in al-Jaami’ al-Kabeer in ‘Unayzah; even when there was only myself and another (student) in these (study) circles,
the Shaykh remained patient at this until his (study) circles (grew and) were (later) attended by hundreds.”
Safahaat Mushriqah min Hayaat al-Imaam Muhammed ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen - Page 80
Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated:
“During the Jumu'ah khutbah, the Shaykh mentioned the excellence of reciting Soorah al-Faatihah before sleeping, and encouraged (everyone) to recite it. After the khutbah, one of the students of knowledge reminded the Shaykh, saying:
“O Shaykh, you probably meant the excellence of Aayatul-Kursee”
The Shaykh then realised he had unintentionally made a mistake,
so he corrected his mistake immediately before the congregation left, warning them a mistake had been made in the khutbah and that which is correct is reciting Aayatul-Kursee before sleeping.”
al-Jaami’ li-Hayaat al-‘Allaamah Muhammed ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen – Page 43
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.”

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated by Shaykh Badr ibn Naadir al-Mashaaree:
“Despite the ill-health of the Shaykh, he was steadfast in delivering the Jumu'ah khutbah in al-Jaami' al-Kabeer and leading the prayers and meeting the people to answer their questions and enquiries; All this in spite of what he was going through himself, such that it was said to him: "Rest yourself O Shaykh", to which he replied:
"Resting is in being at the service of the Muslims".”

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).”

Second etiquette he gives in the translation of his Book of Knowledge, first one being Sincerity.

Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated:
"A member of the Da’wah and Guidance Centre in Jeddah narrates that during the hajj of 1416A.H, he was in the company of the Shaykh at King ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Airport in Jeddah surrounded by the pilgrims who were arriving for hajj.
Here, the Shaykh undertook that which was obligatory upon him by giving da’wah to the arriving pilgrims. A large group of Russian pilgrims arrived and the Shaykh wanted to offer some words (of da’wah) to them. So he asked if there was a translator amongst them. Then, the (Russian) guide for the group came forward not knowing this was Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen.
After completing the translation, the guide asked who the Shaykh was. He was told that it was Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen. At this, he turned to embrace the Shaykh kissing him (on his forehead) whilst crying. He then grabbed hold of the microphone and addressed all the members of his group that this was Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen. At this, tears began falling from the eyes of each and every member of the group, whilst the guide was repeatedly loudly calling out on the microphone “Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen! Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen! Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen!.. .”
The members of the group then came (forward) and conveyed their greetings to the Shaykh and kissed him (on his forehead).
The guide for the group then turned to the Shaykh and said:
“These are your students. They used to read your books in shelters under the ground during the Communist rule.”
al-Jaami’ li-Hayaat al-‘Allaamah Muhammed ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen – Page 38
"Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free-time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death."
