On Rabiʻ I 25, 1446 AH corresponding to 28th September 2024, I (Abu Sakeenah Abdur Razaq al-Athari) met with the Mufti of the Ahlul Hadeeth and Mufti of Makkah, Shaykh Wasīullah Abbās. حفظه الله

We studied Hadeeth from Kitāb as-Salah at the Shaykh’s class on the Sharh (explanation) of Sahīh Muslim. Thereafter, we prayed Isha Salah in the Haram after the Adhaan was called. By the permission of Allāh, I was able to meet the Shaykh outside Safaa & Marwah. We conversed together in Urdu. I gave Salaam to the Shaykh, introduced myself to him and informed him that I am a student at Umm Al Qura University in Makkah. I sought his advice regarding seeking knowledge. The Shaykh حفظه الله turned his face to me, shook my hand and smiled at me. Then he said to me in Urdu: “Work hard! Focus on seeking knowledge and keep away from spending too much time on your phone (social media) as it is very time consuming and it is a distraction for a student of knowledge. Keep away from the quarrels of people and bickering between some students of knowledge, and strive hard to seek knowledge!”
