![]() Imam Shafi’i said, “There is not on the face of the earth-& after the Book of Allah-a book & which is more sahih than the book of Malik.” Shah Wali Allah Dihlawi (1114-1176 AH) said, “My breast expanded and I became certain that the Muwatta’ is the most sahih book to be found on the earth after the Book of Allah.” Its high standing is such that people of every school of fiqh and all of the imams of hadith scholarship agree upon its authenticity. ![]() ![]() Its name also means that it is the book that is “many times agreed upon”- about whose contents the people of Madinah were unanimously agreed-and that is made easy and facilitated”. Imam Malik composed the Muwatta’ over a period of forty years to represent the “well-trodden path” of the people of Madina. The version of the Muwatta narrated by Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani, one of the two leading pupils of Imam Abu Hanifah, directly from his three years of study with Imam Malik will be of particular interest not only to students of Hanafi fiqh, but also to students of hadith in general. This quote from one of the greatest authorities on hadith of all time is sufficient recommendation. “The unqualified truth is that all of the Muwatta is sahih without any exception!” -Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani 14, 2010 - PRLog - The Muwatta of Imam Muhammad – New 2010 card cover edition.
