A Rare Kind of Scholar
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Students of knowledge benefit from the scholars [across] various disciplines and fields … but few are they [among scholars] who, side by side with their being of academic benefit in [Islamic] fields, get those who are sitting with them to detest bidaʿ,¹ drive them away from [all kinds of] partisanship, and make great in their hearts the place of the Sunnah and the methodology of the Companions ….
Our Shaikh ʿUbaid Al-Jābirī, may Allāh have mercy on him, was among the foremost of these scholars from whom the people [of Islam] have benefited in that.

يستفيد طلبة العلم من العلماء فنونا شتى..
ولكن قليل هم الذين مع إفاداتهم العلمية، في فنون العلم، يبغّضون لجلسائهم البدع، وينفرونهم من الحزبيات، ويعظّمون في قلوبهم أمر السنة، ومنهج الصحابة..
وشيخنا عبيد الجابري رحمه الله من أبرز هؤلاء العلماء الذين انتفعت بهم الأمة. في ذلك.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) November 22, 2022
