Meeting the Imaams

The following account was sent by a brother:

"it was really tough after the friday fajr i prayed behind juhany in the first row of masjid al haram right in front of the black stone i was sooo lucky alhamdullilah. then i followed sheikh Juhany after wer he went out and i kept on trying to say salam but the guards wouldnt let me

then the assitant of all the haram imams noticed i wanted to say salam so he then told me come tomorrow(friday prayer) and i will let u say salam to sheikh sudais we went and said salam

then after asr that day i went and said salam to sheikh ghamdi also him and sudais are very nice people sheikh juhany is the kinda of guy that doesnt like to say salam to random people

then in madinah i went to fajr 2 hrs and 45mins early to get the first row i actually got on tv also alhamdullilah in madinah there are very strict on say salam to the imams the guards watch u very closely so sheikh budair walked in(my fav) and i said salam to him


then after the salah he lead which was amazing i waited for the guard to pass by when they were walking out and i stuck my hand out to sheikh budair and he shook my hand it was awesome i also sheikh hudhafy walk out undercover with no abaya or guards in order protect himself from the crowd of people

alhamdullilah everything was really good"

Assalaamu Alaikum,
Yes that's true...so many times i've seen Sheikh Hudhaify comin to the masjid (FROM Men's toilet no. 1)without any guards or abaayah.

Abaayah? Why would a man wear an abaayah? Are u sure u dont mean Bisht? salam

What is an abaya, anyway?
Is this the overcoat the shuyookh wear or does that mean security guards?

Oh is that what u call them...sory i didn't know.Shukran

abaayah meaning 'to cover' or 'covering'

What MI meant that the sheikh had no sort of covering from e.g. guards, police, ppl etc
