Abdur-Raheem McCarthy – The day Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen Hit me!

			The day that ship had been or they mean, hit me. And you might be surprised. Why would the ship hit
you, especially if you see videos of the sheriff, he's always smiling, very kind, very gentle. And
that's exactly how he was. However, when it came to students of knowledge, he had a certain criteria
or certain expectation that he would expect from us. And if we weren't to, if we would have crossed
the boundaries that he didn't accept, he will put us in our place. And that's what happened to me
with him several times. In this video, I'm going to tell you about the day he hit me. Another day,
I'm gonna tell you about the time he scolded me. And another story when he really scolded me and
		

			another brother as well, when we asked the wrong questions, he put us in our place and let us know
that this is not befitting of a student of knowledge. So why did he hit me? To be honest with you
when it first happened to me, I had no clue. One of his students who was there full time with him,
he had to explain to me what happened and why the ship had hit me. I was a student studying in
Medina, and I was traveling with one of my friends from Kuwait. We're going to equate to visit some
of my friends there and some of the shifts, and we made it a point to pre budget Indonesia and
casinos. GFAP what they mean, so we could ask him some questions and the chef Subhanallah he used to
		

			walk to Salat al Fajr, barefoot temperament, the sunnah of our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would walk barefoot sometimes, and his house wasn't close by. And the students they would
come with him sometimes from his house all the way to the masjid asking him questions. And also
going back from the moment with him asking questions, and us being students who had traveled from
outside to visit the ship. We had the priority and asking questions, and everyone else had to wait.
So as my friend was asking the questions, I was walking on the side of the shift on his left side,
and I was listening. And I had, you know, as they were the customer, the score for the Schmuck, they
		

			call it the red one. That's the one I had this that and I couldn't really see what represents it was
covering a bit of my view from here. And as this happened, I crossed the path of the ship and I went
in front of him, which I didn't know at the time is a big no, no. And the chef sees it as being
something disrespectful. The next thing I knew I was Airboard. And if you ever sold a chef, he's
about half of my size, but I felt his forearm go into me and I felt myself lifting up off the ground
and flying about two meters away from the chef, mashallah to blue. He was small, but he was very
strong. I realized what just happened, but I didn't realize why it happened. But nonetheless, I
		

			traveled this way I would have benefit from the ship. So I just went back and started to listen to
him until he reached his house after we finished ask him questions. And she had reached his house,
went to have breakfast with another brother who was a full time student with the sheriff. And he
asked me, he said, Do you know why the share hits you? And I said, No, I have no clue. And he said,
Because you crossed in front of him. And like, we like that, which is not a form of edit of a manner
of the student with his shift to walk in front of him like that. So the shift puts you back in your
place, um, that he didn't, it wasn't mean to me, it wasn't nasty to me afterwards. And Hamdulillah
		

			he answered my question, which was very nice to me. But he saw from that not being from the manners
to walk in front of your shift like this. So he put me back in my place. And this is something he
would only do for the students when it came to the general people. He treated them in a different
way. I remember another time I was with Dr. Salia. Salah Rahim, Allah Tala, and we're going to the
chef's house to ask him some questions. And we arrived the other side of the street and another
brother came, he wasn't a practicing brother. I remember he was driving a van. He had a baseball cap
on and some jeans. And in casino where the chef lives that was very weird, very strange during those
		

			times, on top of that, he comes up honking the horn to the shape BP beep. This guy gets out of the
car with his cap and his jeans on. And he goes and he's so happy to see the shift. And he's smiling.
And when Dr. Salah Solis holdings, he was like, oh, no, you know, what is this the guy who's do it
this year, but the chef met him with what all smiles you know how you do and give him nice alarms
and being very nice and very kind to him. Dr. Salah saw that. He said to me, he said, If one of us
were to dare do that to the Shia, talk to him like that, and come he said he would have hit us once
again, because he saw as his teacher saw that as a student of knowledge, you have to have respect
		

			for the knowledge. And you have to have respect for the one who's teaching you knowledge
SubhanAllah. I remember in 2017 I went to visit Medina. That was like about 11 years after I
graduated 10 years after I left Medina. And I saw the change in the students. I heard about it when
I actually saw it. No brothers going to the university and studying lessons were like, you know, the
long Bermuda shorts and wearing T shirts and things like this. And for us, that was something
unheard of that you could go to images of not being dressed properly. You didn't necessarily have to
wear like the 30 You know, customary clothing. But nonetheless, that's what most of us wore, or at
		

			least a job. And we wear a hat as well. But no way any of us would dare going like a beach bum with
some shorts and some flip flops and a T shirt going to study knowledge from a scholar. Some people
might think that's not that big of a deal. But the more respect you put into something, and I'll
give you an example. Just like now if you've ever trained jujitsu or any martial arts, what happens
if you step on the mat with your shoes, it's look at being very disrespectful. Martial arts
instructors. They teach their students to honor the art that they study. Just as we should honor the
gatherings of knowledge and those who we take knowledge from
