وَلَمَّا كَثُرَ الطَّلَبَةُ، وَصَارَتِ الْمَكْتَبَةُ لَا تَكْفِيهِمْ؛ بَدَأَ فَضِيلَةُ الشَّيْخِ -رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - يُدَرِّسُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ نَفْسِهِ،

When the students became numerous and the library could no longer accommodate them, the virtuous Sheikh began teaching in the grand mosque itself.

وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ الطُّلَّابُ وَتَوَافَدُوا مِنَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَغَيْرِهَا حَتَّى كَانُوا يَبْلُغُونَ الْمِئَاتِ فِي بَعْضِ الدُّرُوسِ

Students gathered around him and arrived from the Kingdom and elsewhere until they reached the hundreds in some lessons.

وَهَؤُلَاءِ يَدْرُسُونَ دِرَاسَةَ تَحْصِيلٍ جَادٍّ، لَا لِمُجَرَّدِ الِاسْتِمَاعِ،

They were studying with serious acquisition, not merely for listening.

وَبَقِيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، إِمَامًا وَخَطِيبًا وَمُدَرِّسًا، حَتَّى وَفَاتِهِ

He remained in that state, as an imam, preacher, and teacher, until his death.

بَقِيَ الشَّيْخُ مُدَرِّسًا فِي الْمَعْهَدِ الْعِلْمِيِّ مِنْ عَامِ ١٣٧٤ هـ إِلَى عَامِ ١٣٩٨هـ

The Sheikh remained a teacher at the Scientific Institute from the year 1374 AH to the year 1398 AH.

عِنْدَمَا انْتَقَلَ إِلَى التَّدْرِيسِ فِي كُلِّيَّةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَأُصُولِ الدِّينِ بِالْقَصِيمِ التَّابِعَةِ لِجَامِعَةِ الْإِمَامِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُعُودٍ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةِ،

When he moved to teaching at the College of Sharia and Fundamentals of Religion in Qassim, affiliated with Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University.

وَظَلَّ أُسْتَاذًا فِيهَا حَتَّى وَفَاتِهِ

He remained a professor there until his death.

وَكَانَ يُدَرِّسُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ النَّبَوِيِّ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ وَرَمَضَانَ وَالْإِجَازَاتِ الصَّيْفِيَّةِ مُنْذُ عَامِ ١٤٠٢هـ، حَتَّى وَفَاتِهِ

He used to teach in the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque during the Hajj season, Ramadan, and summer vacations since the year 1402 AH, until his death.

وَلِلشَّيْخِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - أُسْلُوبٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ فَرِيدٌ فِي جَوْدَتِهِ وَنَجَاحِهِ،

The Sheikh had a unique educational style in its quality and success.

فَهُوَ يُنَاقِشُ طُلَّابَهُ وَيَتَقَبَّلُ أَسْئِلَتَهُمْ، وَيُلْقِي الدُّرُوسَ وَالْمُحَاضَرَاتِ بِهِمَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ وَنَفْسٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ وَاثِقَةٍ، مُبْتَهِجًا بِنَشْرِهِ لِلْعِلْمِ وَتَقْرِيبِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ.

He would discuss with his students, accept their questions, and deliver lessons and lectures with high zeal and a reassured, confident soul, joyful in spreading knowledge and bringing it closer to the people.

آثَارُهُ الْعِلْمِيَّةُ: ظَهَرَتْ جُهُودُهُ الْعَظِيمَةُ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - خِلَالَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِينَ عَامًا مِنَ الْعَطَاءِ وَالْبَذْلِ فِي نَشْرِ الْعِلْمِ وَالتَّدْرِيسِ وَالْوَعْظِ وَالْإِرْشَادِ وَالتَّوْجِيهِ وَإِلْقَاءِ الْمُحَاضَرَاتِ وَالدَّعْوَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ

His scientific works: His great efforts appeared during more than fifty years of giving and exertion in spreading knowledge, teaching, preaching, guidance, direction, delivering lectures, and calling to Allah.

وَلَقَدِ اهْتَمَّ بِالتَّأْلِيفِ وَتَحْرِيرِ الْفَتَاوَى وَالْأَجْوِبَةِ الَّتِي تَمَيَّزَتْ بِالتَّأْصِيلِ الْعِلْمِيِّ الرَّصِينِ،

He was interested in authorship and editing fatwas and answers that were distinguished by solid scientific rooting.

وَصَدَرَتْ لَهُ الْعَشَرَاتُ مِنَ الْكُتُبِ وَالرَّسَائِلِ وَالْمُحَاضَرَاتِ وَالْفَتَاوَى.

Dozens of books, treatises, lectures, and fatwas were issued by him.
