Shams us Saalik : Vol 3 Arabic

Imam Malik (full name Malik bin Anas bin Malik bin Abu Amir Al-Asbahi), may Allah be pleased with him, was born in 93 A.H. and died in 179 A.H. He lived most of his life in Madinah, the city in which the Beloved Prophet, ﷺ, settled in. He was a pre-eminent scholar of Islam, and is the originator of the Maliki judicial school of thought. He is reputed to have had over one thousand students.


During Imam Malik's, radi Allahu ta'ala anhu, lifetime, he steadily revised his Muwatta, so it reflects over forty years of his learning and knowledge. It contains a few thousand hadith.
