I have never watched a sports match

لم أشهد مباراة رياضية قط ولكني جلست في دعوة فعجبت من مدى الإنهماك والتعلق ومعرفة اللاعبين بأسمائهم ولو سئل الواحد عن العشرة المبشرين لم يجبك

Shaykh Dr. ‘Aasim al-Qaryooti said:

I have never watched a sports match. However, I once sat in a gathering and was amazed at the extent of dedication and preoccupation and knowledge of the names of the players.

And if they were asked about just one of the ten who were promised paradise, they would not be able to answer.
