Product Description
The famous compendium of fiqh and hadith of Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of law. Virtually every hadith in it was accepted by al-Bukhari. Ash-Shafi‘i said of it, "After the Book of Allah, there is no book on earth sounder than that of Malik." As well as giving legal judgements, it shows how Malik reached his rulings and the the nature of the ‘amal, or the practice of the people of Madina, in that context.

The first book of fiqh/hadeeth ever written
This book is a must for all followers of the Maliki school of thinking. It serves as an amazing refrence in to the inner workings of one the most amazing men who ever lived. The translation of the text is one great features of this work as well. Aisha Bewley (Some times given the title "At-Tarjumana" the 'translatress") is widely recognized as being the best arabic to english translator alive today. This work must surely count as her masterpiece. The logical division of this book is another plus point. The reason why i gave this book four stars rather than five (which many argue it may deserve) is because it does not include the original arabic text and any explanatory points are almost non existent. Despite these down points it is still a fantastic book
