في رحيل المهندس عبدالصمد ساعاتي، لا نفقد مجرد رجل وجيه، بل نخسر روحاً كانت تُضيء زوايا الإبداع السعودي بالمحبة الخالصة والاحتفاء الصادق، ويداً امتدت بسخاء لتحتضن المبدعين بلا محسوبيات ولا تصنيفات، وتمنحهم ما لا تمنحه ربما المسارح الكبرى والقاعات الرسمية من التقدير الصادق.
كان مجلسه أكثر من مكان، كان صالوناً فنيّاً وإنسانيّاً، يحتضن الإبداع في أبسط صوره وأعمق معانيه.
جلس فيه الرواد، وتلاقى فيه العازفون والمطربون والملحنون والإعلاميون، لا مدفوعين بالشهرة والمصالح، بل بشعور التقدير الذي يغرسه وجود المهندس عبدالصمد بينهم؛ وجيه يسأل كل مبدع.. ماذا تحتاج كي تُزهر؟
لم يكن يهوى الأضواء، بل يضيئها لغيره. وكان في كل لقاء فني يُقيمه في صالونه العريق، يحرص على أن يتقدّم التقدير على التصفيق، وأن يُكرّم الإنسان قبل الفنان، وأن يُكتب للتاريخ ما لا تكتبه العروض الكبرى.
منح الإبداع من نفسه ومن وقته ومن قلبه، ورافق مسيرة كثير من المبدعين بدور الصديق، والأخ، والداعم، والحاضن. لم يكن فوقهم، بل بينهم، يشبههم في المحبة، ويفوقهم في الوفاء.
هو واحد من أولئك الذين يمضون دون صخب، لكن يخلّدهم الصدق.
رحم الله المهندس عبدالصمد، كلما حادثته، كانت تسكنني شخصيته الجميلة بلُطفها وسموّ خُلقها. لم يكن كثير الكلام، لكنه إذا تحدّث أجبرك على الإصغاء، وإذا سأل، شعرت أنه يُنصت لما بين الجُمل. مزيجٌ نادر من التهذيب، والفطنة، والذوق العالي.. فقده خسارة ورحيله مؤلم لكل من عرف عمق معدنه ونُبل سريرته.

In the passing of Engineer Abdul-Samad Sa'ati, we do not just lose a distinguished man, but we lose a spirit that illuminated the corners of Saudi creativity with pure love and sincere celebration, and a hand that extended generously to embrace creators without favoritism or classifications, granting them what perhaps major theaters and official halls do not offer in terms of genuine appreciation.
His gathering was more than a place; it was an artistic and humanitarian salon that embraced creativity in its simplest forms and deepest meanings.
In it, pioneers sat, and musicians, singers, composers, and media professionals met, not driven by fame and interests, but by a sense of appreciation instilled by Engineer Abdul-Samad's presence among them; a distinguished man who asks every creator... what do you need to bloom?
He did not seek the spotlight, but rather illuminated it for others. In every artistic gathering he held in his esteemed salon, he was keen to prioritize appreciation over applause, to honor the person before the artist, and to write for history what major performances do not document.
He gave creativity from himself, from his time, and from his heart, accompanying the journey of many creators in the roles of friend, brother, supporter, and nurturer. He was not above them, but among them, resembling them in love, and surpassing them in loyalty.
He is one of those who pass quietly, but their sincerity immortalizes them.
May God have mercy on Engineer Abdul-Samad; every time I spoke with him, his beautiful personality filled me with kindness and the nobility of his character. He was not one for many words, but when he spoke, he compelled you to listen, and when he asked, you felt he was listening to what lay between the lines. A rare blend of refinement, insight, and high taste... his loss is a tragedy, and his departure is painful for all who knew the depth of his character and the nobility of his nature.
