It has been said that the judge of Basra, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Anṣari, received the Muwattaʾ from Mālik by way of an ijāzah (1). Another report maintains that the chief-judge Abū Yūsuf narrated it from a man who had taken it from Mālik. From the earliest times until today, scholars have shown the utmost concern for the transmission of the Muwattaʾ, for knowing it thoroughly, and for securing its text.

Ismāʿīl al-Qāḍī gathered the hadiths of the Muwattaʾ as related by its transmitters from Mālik, together with every other narration of Mālik that reached him.

The ḥāfiẓ Qāsim ibn Aṣbagh compiled Mālik’s hadith, as did Abū al-Qāsim al-Jawharī. Abū al-Ḥasan al-Qābisi produced the Mulakhkhaṣ, a work that many students committed to memory.

Abū Dharr al-Harawī authored Musnad al-Muwaṭṭaʾāt, and Abū Bakr al-Qabbāb likewise collected the hadiths of Mālik.

Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Ḥabīb al-Sijilmāsī (2) compiled a Musnad of the Muwattaʾ, and the same was done by al-Muṭarraz, Abū ʿAbd Allah al-Jīzī, Aḥmad ibn Bundār al-Fārisi, Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Aʿrābī, and Ibn Mufarrij.
