تَرْجَمَةٌ مُوجَزَةٌ لِفَضِيلَةِ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْعُثَيْمِينِ حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.

A brief biography of the virtuous Sheikh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen, may Allah protect him.

نَسَبُهُ: هُوَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثَيْمِينَ الْوَهَيْبِيُّ التَّمِيمِيُّ.

His lineage: He is Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Salih bin Muhammad bin Salih bin Muhammad bin Uthaymeen al-Wuhaybi al-Tamimi.

مَوْلِدُهُ: وُلِدَ فِي مَدِينَةِ عُنَيْزَةَ فِي ٢٧ رَمَضَانَ الْمُبَارَكِ عَامَ ١٣٤٧هـ.

His birth: He was born in the city of Unayzah on the 27th of the blessed month of Ramadan in 1347 AH.

نَشْأَتُهُ: قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ الْكَرِيمَ عَلَى جَدِّهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمِّهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ آلِ دَامِغٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ.

His upbringing: He studied the Noble Quran under his maternal grandfather, Abd al-Rahman bin Sulayman Al Damigh, may Allah have mercy on him.

فَحَفِظَهُ ثُمَّ اتَّجَهَ إِلَى طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَتَعَلَّمَ الْخَطَّ وَالْحِسَابَ وَبَعْضَ فُنُونِ الْآدَابِ،

After memorizing it, he turned his attention to seeking knowledge, learning calligraphy, arithmetic, and various literary arts.

وَكَانَ الشَّيْخُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّعْدِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَدْ أَقَامَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ طَلَبَةِ الْعِلْمِ عِنْدَهُ لِيَدْرُسَا الطَّلَبَةَ الصِّغَارَ

Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di, may Allah have mercy on him, had appointed two students of knowledge to teach the younger pupils.

أَحَدُهُمَا الشَّيْخُ عَلِيُّ الصَّالِحِيُّ وَالثَّانِي الشَّيْخُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْمُطَّوِعُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ،

These were Sheikh Ali al-Salihi and Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd al-Aziz al-Mutawwa, may Allah have mercy on him.

قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ مُخْتَصَرَ الْعَقِيدَةِ الْوَاسِطِيَّةِ لِلشَّيْخِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّعْدِيِّ وَمِنْهَاجَ السَّالِكِينَ فِي الْفِقْهِ لِلشَّيْخِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَيْضًا، وَالْأَجُرُّومِيَّةَ وَالْأَلْفِيَّةَ.

He studied with them the summary of the Wasitiyyah Creed by Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di, Minhaj al-Salikeen in jurisprudence, as well as the Ajurrumiyyah and the Alfiyyah.

وَقَرَأَ عَلَى الشَّيْخِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَوْدَانَ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ وَالْفِقْهِ.

He also studied inheritance law and jurisprudence under Sheikh Abd al-Rahman bin Ali bin Awdan.

وَقَرَأَ عَلَى الشَّيْخِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَاصِرٍ السَّعْدِيِّ الَّذِي يُعْتَبَرُ شَيْخَهُ الْأَوَّلَ حَيْثُ لَازَمَهُ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ التَّوْحِيدَ وَالتَّفْسِيرَ وَالْحَدِيثَ وَالْفِقْهَ وَأُصُولَ الْفِقْهِ وَالْفَرَائِضَ وَمُصْطَلَحَ الْحَدِيثِ وَالنَّحْوَ وَالصَّرْفَ.

He studied under Sheikh Abd al-Rahman bin Nasir al-Sa'di, who is considered his primary teacher. He remained in his company, studying monotheism, exegesis, hadith, jurisprudence, legal theory, inheritance law, hadith terminology, grammar, and morphology.

وَكَانَتْ لِفَضِيلَةِ الشَّيْخِ مَنْزِلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ عِنْدَ شَيْخِهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

The Sheikh held a high status in the eyes of his teacher, may Allah have mercy on him.

فَعِنْدَمَا انْتَقَلَ وَالِدُ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدٍ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - إِلَى الرِّيَاضِ إِبَّانَ أَوَّلِ تَطَوُّرِهِ رَغِبَ
