“Our noble scholar Ibn 'Uthaymeen said about our noble scholar Al-Imam Al-Albaani may Allaah have mercy on them both, that: 'He (Albaani) revived the Sunnah while he was alive and after he passed away.'
I (Shaykh Saleem Al-Hilaalee) say: And from the things which indicate this is that when the car flipped with him (shaykh Albani) while he was travelling between Jeddah and Madinah during his days of teaching in the Islamic University of Madinah, the people ran towards the car while they were saying "Yaa Sattaar... Yaa Sattaar" and shaykh Albani would say to them while he was under the flipped vehicle - "Say, Yaa Sitteer. Do not say Yaa Sattaar for indeed Sattaar is not from the names of Allaah. As in the Narration it says: "Verily Allaah is Hayiyyun Sitteer, He loves the Sitr".
