In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Salih Aala Ash-Shaikh, may Allah preserve him, said:

Whenever you have more humility in pursuit of knowledge through the Shariah, the scholar becomes more devoted to you (i.e. pays closer attention to your needs). This is why you find that many of the scholars have a special student because he (i.e. this student) has good manners when speaking, dealing and walking with the Shaikh, thus, the Shaikh trusts him, devotes (more time and effort to him) in knowledge, gives him knowledge which others are not given, (shares his) life experiences related to knowledge, his experiences with the scholars and circumstances”. [An Excerpt from Sharh Al-Arba’een. Pages 21-22]

All the scholars benefit the entire Ummah, but they have many special senior students in the East who are well known. Similarly, in the West, they have special senior students. May Allah bless all of them in the East and the West Amin.

May Allah keep us and them upon Salafiyyah and grant us Ikhlas, Thabat and Husnul Khatimah. May Allah bless all those in the West and the East Aameen.
