Al-Albaani and The Ladder

 

“Shaikh Baasim Faisal al-Juwaabirah said, ‘And from that which showed the Shaikh’s patience and fortitude in seeking knowledge was what Dr. Mahmood al-Meerah, may Allaah protect him, told me.  That Shaikh Naasir climbed up a ladder in the Dhaahiriyyah library in Damascus to take a book, a manuscript, so he got the book and opened it and then started to read it while standing on the ladder–and stayed there reading for more than six hours.’”
