Shaykh Ḥamzah ʿAbd al-Razzaq reminisces about his time studying under his beloved teacher, al-ʿAllāmah ʿUbayd al-Jābirī. He gives an emotional account of an interaction between al-ʿAllāmah ʿUbayd, Shaykh Uways al-Ṭawīl and himself, when he was requested by Shaykh ʿUbayd to walk with him to his home. Something that left Shaykh Ḥamzah awestruck, that someone from far away urban Philadelphia, had the privilege to walk with a scholar, being his companion, his beneficiary. A touching story.
