Honesty of Ibn Uthaymin

The Honesty of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin:

كان الشيخ ذات مرة في مكتبة الجامعة و كان يكتب بقلمه الحبر و انتهى الحبر من القلم فاضاف حبرا من المكتبة و اكمل الكتابة و لما انتهى من الكتابة فرغ باقي الحبر في المحبرة لانه كان يكتب امورا تخص الجامعة

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin was once writing in the University library and his pen ran out of ink.

He re-filled his pen with ink from an ink pot in the University library which was there to be used for University work purposes.

When he finished writing he emptied the remaining ink out of his pen back into the ink pot before he left, since it was the property of the University.

[“Al-jamie’ li-Hayat Shaykh Salih A-‘Uthaymin”, 25].
