Shaykh ‘Alee bin Hasan al-Halabee on Dr. Saleh as-Saleh
A few weeks ago some of the scholars from Jordan, the students of the late Shaykh Muhammad Nasir-ud-Deen al-Albaanee, attended a week long seminar in which they delivered a number of knowledge based lectures. One of the brothers, Abu Salma al-Indonesi, sent me an email which contained some words, which Br. Muhammad Diri has kindly translated, regarding Dr. Saleh as-Saleh from Shaykh ‘Alee bin Hasan al-Halabee. I thought I would share the most relevant bits with you below:
A Message from Sister ‘Asmaa
I received an email yesterday from Br. Salah in Egypt, he had just returned from his class with the son of Dr. Saleh as-Saleh in which he teaches him Qur’aan. Br. Salah has previously shared with us his experiences and meetings with Dr. Saleh in the comments section of the “On the Passing of Shaykh, Dr. Saleh as-Saleh” post. A few days ago he printed off all of your comments so that he could share them with Dr. Saleh’s children in Egypt. The comments gave great joy to their hearts and as such Dr. Saleh’s daughter wrote a quick note that Br. Saleh typed up yesterday and then emailed to me asking that I post it:

My Meetings with Dr. Saleh as-Saleh
Those who frequented Shaykh, Dr. Saleh as-Saleh’s classes on Pal Talk may well be familiar with Br. G-Force. I recently got sent an audio file in which Br. G-Force talks about Dr. Saleh as-Saleh and his meetings with him. You can listen to / download the talk by clicking on the following link:
On the Passing of Shaykh, Dr. Saleh as-Saleh
Written by Aboo Uthmaan
Just before maghrib today (UK time) I received the very sad news that Shaykh, Dr. Saleh as-Saleh passed away shortly after the ‘asr prayer [correction (12/02/08): the Shaykh passed away after praying Salaatul-Jumu'ah] in the Prophet’s Masjid. Shaykh, Dr. Muhammad al-Jibaly wrote via his yahoo group:
“I did not believe the news at first, but just called his phone, and his wife confirmed it to me, and said he was too exhausted, and this was the main cause of his death (at the young age of about 50). She said his body is now in al-Ansar hospital, and will be buried tomorrow morning in al-Baqee’.
His passing on Jumu’ah, and in the Prophet’s Masjid while performing ‘ibaadah, are indeed very good indicators. May Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) forgive him, augment his good deeds tremendously, and admit him to Jannah in the company of the prophets and the most righteous.”
Like Dr. Muhammad al-Jibaly, many of us were in shock when we first head of Dr. Saleh as-Saleh’s passing, to the point that none of us wanted to believe it. This alone goes to show the high esteem in which many held him, the great love that they had for him and how sorely they will miss him.
