Sayyiduna Imam Malik bin Anas رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه. People did not travel so much to anyone else than to him. (Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 311, Summarised) 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of Rasool! It is a natural phenomenon that when we fall in love with someone, we love everything that is connected to him. We love the home of our beloved, his doors and walls and even his streets. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, Sayyiduna Imam Malik رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه had been lost in the love for Allah Almighty and Blessed Rasool. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه was not only a true devotee of Rasool, but devotion to Rasool was found in every drop of his blood.

Aloe wood and frankincense would continue to burn with flame in a brazier until blessed Ahadees were read in that gathering. (Bustan-ul-Muhaddiseen, pp. 19, 20)

Scorpion stung 16 times but he continued to give Dars of Hadees

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه has said: A scorpion stung Sayyiduna Abu ‘Abdullah Imam Maalik رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه 16 times while he was giving a Dars of Hadees. Due to the severity of the pain, his blessed face turned pale, but he continued to give the Dars of Hadees (and did not even change his posture).
