A traveller was invited into the Shaykh’s car on two simple conditions: no smoking, and more remembrance of Allaah.

Unrecognised and cursed by a youth he had gently corrected, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen responded only with love and an invitation to talk.

When the car of a friend broke down mid-journey, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen got out and pushed it himself.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen made sure to empty his pen of University ink before leaving, mindful it belonged to the library, not to him.

Exhausted after ‘Umrah, his companions went straight to sleep — only to find Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen already standing in prayer in the night.

At the airport during Hajj, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen sought out a translator so he could personally give da‘wah to a group of Russian pilgrims.

Gifted a brand new car by a Prince, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen let it sit unused for days before quietly having it returned.

When some youth faced a costly fine after a car accident during ‘Umrah, help arrived to ease their distress.

A little girl would ask Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen for a riyal each time he entered the masjid, and he always obliged — for her and her sister.
