It seems some of you misunderstood what he meant by “it’s like he was placed in the wrong generation” he’s just saying that his character was that of the salaf so much so that you would think he belonged in that generation. There’s nothing wrong with that statement, we should all strive to be like our righteous predecessors (May Allah be pleased with them all) but we all know the hadith that they are (the Sahaba) the best of generation, and then 2 following generations after.. and Shaykh Ibn Baz (RA) did his best to emulate their character, and May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus and widen his grave. Ameen.
"It is as if the man lived in the wrong era; it is as if he descended from the times of the first 3 generations to be amongst us." سبحان الله, these words are so true.
I feel like Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymeen, and Al-Albani رحمهم الله were all like this.
Correction in the Name of honest: The speaker Said That bin baz gave him 9000 and said that the remaining 2000 was his to do as he pleases. The subtitles say 19 thousand this is incorrect. Thank you.
May Allah bless the channels that make these stories of the real scholars available to us english speaking people which otherwise would never hear the stories of these great men, may Allah make u sincere and put it on the scale of ur good deeds allahuma amin
