[anfaas]

Assalm`alaykum,

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf knew him and talks about the piety of Shaykh Osman Beshir Osman rahimahullah in one of his tapes (Purification of the Heart ?).

Thought this would be beneficial inshallah.

Shaykh Osman Beshir Osman

Shaykh Osman Beshir Osman (May Allah grant him His eternal peace) was from Eritrea. He stood tall and straight, and when he walked he leaned slightly forward as though walking down- hill, always keeping a fast pace. He always covered his head with a turban and wore a tasbih around his neck. He loved you instantly upon being presented to him as a fellow Muslim. He never inquired to one's Madhab, or sect. One's presence and admission of faith were enough for him. Wherever he went, he brought with him the transmission of tasting the world beyond that of the senses. He lived his Deen as an example to others and gifted all, whom he met, with increase in Iman for Allah’s Domain of the Ghayib, (unseen).
