Shaykh ‘Abdur-Razzaaq ibn 'AbdulMuhsin al-Badr: I remember once, Shaykh Muhammad Salih ibn Uthaymeen came to Madinah to deliver a lecture in the Islamic University. So I was requested to introduce the Shaykh , and give an introduction for the lecture. So before the lecture I began to introduce the Shaykh. I said: “We gather on this good, blessed day, with the renowned Shaykh Al-Allamah…” Shaykh Uthaymeen said: “Be quiet!” He said this in front of those gathered. He said it in a loud voice such that I was not able to complete my statement. The Shaykh silenced me. May Allah have mercy upon him. I didn’t even know how to complete the introduction. And you can find this recorded on the tape. The Shaykh scolded me. He said: “Be quiet!” So I started again, and began to put some words together. I said, the Shaykh is with his students and his beloved. And the Shaykh started delivering his lecture. When the person is not pleased with praise and he does not accept it and he prevents it; it will not harm him. But if he is pleased with the praise, and he aspires for people to praise him; in this case it will harm him and destroy him. How many people have been destroyed and harmed by praise! We ask Allah to safeguard all of us. http://mtws.posthaven.com/when-is-praise-slaughter-shaykh-uthaymeen-teaches-shaykh-abdul-razzaq-al-badr
