If a person fears being amazed with himself—Al-Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi
Al-Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi Al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:
If a person fears being amazed with himself, then let him not compare himself with (his) contemporaries, (rather) look at Haafidh Ibn Hajr or Al-Haafidh Ibn katheer, Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and other than them amongst the Huffaadh.
