This book considers the transmission of the Sunna through the lens
of the great Madinan legal scholar, Imam Malik ibn Anas (d. 179
AH/795 CE), in his renowned book al-Muwatta', or 'The well-trodden
path'. It considers not only the legal judgements preserved in this
book, but also the key scholars involved in the transmission of
these judgements, namely, Malik's teachers and students. These
different transmissions provide very strong evidence for the
reliability of Malik's transmission of the Sunna. Overriding these
textual considerations is the concept of 'amal, or the Practice of
the People of Medina. This is accepted as a prime source by Malik
and those following him, but is effectively rejected by the other
schools, who prefer hadith (textual reports) as an indication of
Sunna. Given the contested nature of 'amal in both ancient and
modern times, and the general unawareness of it in contemporary
Islamic studies, this source receives extended treatment here. This
allows for a deeper understanding of the nature of Islamic law and
its development, and, by extension, of Islam itself.
