Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah), Dr. Muhammad ibn Sa'd ash-Shuway'ir narrates:
"During the Hajj of 1406 A.H. (1986 C.E.) the first official group of pilgrims came to Saudi Arabia from communist China, and along with this group came some scholars who visited Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz to convey their greetings to him. The head of the group was a very old man who had studied at al-Azhar. He led the group of these scholars, who were seven in total, to greet Shaykh Ibn Baaz. After having conveyed their greetings to the gathering of people, the head of the group turned to me and asked me:
"Where is Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz, and when will he arrive?"
So I said to him:
"There, he is the one you conveyed your greetings to just now."
But this old man did not believe me, and speaking in fluent Arabic he demanded:
"I want to see him now." So I said to him:
"There he is", firmly pointing him (Shaykh Ibn Baaz) out. So he stood up from his gathering and presented himself before Shaykh Ibn Baaz for a second time to greet him.
I then informed the Shaykh about the eagerness of this old man, so the Shaykh stood to embrace him. I saw the old Chinese man affectionately cling to the Shaykh's chest and cry, saying:
"All Praise be to the One Who has permitted me to see you; We used to hear about you whilst in China, that you give hope to the Muslims and are their "saviour" and support them."
Then one of his companions said (to Shaykh Ibn Baaz):
"Pray to Allaah O Shaykh, that He takes ten years of my life and adds it to yours, for that which you have benefited Islaam and it's people, as for me, then I am just a (simple) human being like others from the children of Islaam."
Then the old Chinese man began crying profusely turning again to embrace him (Shaykh Ibn Baaz) and repeating:
"All Praise be to the One Who has permitted me to see you before my death, since I used to long for this (opportunity) all my life.

The noble manners of sheikh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz
Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah), ‘Abdullaah ibn Muhammad al-Mu’taaz narrates:
"Shaykh Muhammad Haamid who was the president of the group “As.haab al-Yameen” in Eritrea said:
“I arrived in Riyadh on a cold night, and did not have any (money) with which to pay for a hotel. So I thought about going to Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Baaz’s house; the time was 3 o’clock in the morning (and) I was hesitant, but (finally) decided to go (to the Shaykh’s house).
I arrived outside his old mud-style house and found someone asleep by the gate. Having awoken, he opened the gate for me and I conveyed my greetings to him ever so quietly so that no-one (else) hears me since it was so late at night.
After a short while, I saw the Shaykh himself descending from the stairs with a pot of food. He extended greetings to me and gave me the food, saying:
“I heard your voice and brought this food for you, assuming you had not eaten this night”.
By Allaah, I was unable to sleep (the rest of the night) due to weeping at such noble manners”.”

The biography of ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Ibn ‘Abdullah Ibn Baaz
By :Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid
Praise be to Allaah, the Ever-Living, Who does not die, although mankind and jinn die, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah, concerning whom Allaah said (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, you [O Muhammad] will die, and verily, they (too) will die.” [al-Zumar 39:30]
Praise be to Allaah, Who is the only One Whom we praise, even when adversity strikes. He determines the length of people’s lifetimes, and has decreed all things. Everything with Him is in due proportion, All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Great, the Most High. Whatsoever is on earth will perish, and the Face of our Lord, full of Majesty and Honour, will abide forever.
The honour of the scholars is great indeed. Their Lord has made them witnesses to the greatest of truths and has mentioned their testimony alongside His own and that of His angels. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
