Abu abdullah Malik bin Anas bin Malik bin Abi Amirbin Amr bin al-Haris bin Ghaiman bin Jutsail binAmr bin al-Haris Dzi Ashbah. Imam malik was born in Medina al Munawwaroh. whereas in the case of his birth year there is a historical difference. al-Yafii in his book Thabaqat fuqoha records that the second priest was born in 94 H. ibn Khalik and others hold that the second priest was born in 95 H. whereas. Imam al-Dzahabi narrates the birth priest was born 90 H.

A number of 'Scholars argue that the source of the hadith has seven, namely Al Pole as Sittah plus Al Muwaththa.' There are scholars who have designated Sunan ad Darimi instead of Al Muwaththa. ' While writing this great book, Ibn Hazm said, "Al Muwaththa" is a book about fiqh and hadith, I do not know the comparison.

The Traditions contained in Al Muwaththa 'are not all Musnad, some are Mursal, mu'dlal and munqathi. Some 'ulama count it 600 600 hadith, 222 mursal hadith, 613 mauquf hadith, 285 words sa'in, besides that there are 61 hadiths with no backers, it is said to have come to me "and" from the believer ", but the hadith is from another path that is not the path of the Imam himself, therefore Ibn Abdil Bar an Namiri opposes the compilation of the book which seeks to paraphrase the hadiths of the holy, munqathi 'and mu'halith found in Al Muwaththa' Malik.

The Book of Al-Muwaththa


Al-Muwaththa means 'agreed upon' or 'alimony' or 'guide' which deals with the science and laws of Islamic religion. Al-Muwaththa is a book that contains hadith collected by Imam Malik as well as the opinions of friends and scholars of tabiin. The book is complete with various religious problems which include the hadith, fiqh and so on. All of the hadiths are authentic because Imam Malik is known for his strong character in accepting a hadith. He was very careful when filtering, isolating, and discussing and rejecting dubious history. Of the 100,000 hadiths he memorized, only 10,000 were legally recognized and out of those 10,000, only 5,000 were confirmed by him after researching and comparing the Quran. According to a history, Imam Malik spent 40 years collecting and refining hadiths received from his teachers. Imam Syafii once said, "There is no book on this earth after al-Qur`an contains more truth than the book of Al-Muwaththa by Imam Malik, this is the writings of the ancient scholars."

End of life


In the wake of his death, Imam Malik was asked why he had not been to the Nabawi Mosque for seven years, and replied, "If it had not been for the end of my life on earth, and the beginning of my life hereafter, I would not have told you this. What prevents me from doing all this is that I often have to pee, which is why I am not able to attend the Prophet's Mosque. And, I do not like to mention my illness, because I worry that I will always complain to God. ”Imam Malik started sick on Sunday until 22 days and died on Sunday, the 10th Rabbi Awwal 179 Hijriyyah or 800 Miladiyyah.
