Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

He also composed an epistle on judicial rulings, a single volume, preserved through the transmission of Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf ibn Maṭrūḥ from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Jalīl (1).

Another epistle was addressed to Abū Ghassān Muḥammad ibn Muṭarrif (2).

He is further credited with a letter of courtly etiquette sent to the caliph al-Rashīd; its isnād is broken. It was rejected by the judge Ismāʿīl and others, and it contains ḥadiths that are unknown.
I say: this epistle is fabricated.
Judge al-Abharī remarked, “It contains ḥadiths such that, had Mālik heard anyone relate them, he would have disciplined him.” (3)

He also left a fascicle on Qurʾānic exegesis, transmitted by Khālid ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Makhzūmī. Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ relates it from Abū Jaʿfar Aḥmad ibn Saʿīd, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Muqriʾ, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Maṣṣīṣī, from his father, with his full isnād (4).

The book entitled “al-Sirr” (The Secret) is transmitted by Ibn al-Qāsim from Mālik. It was narrated by al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad al-ʿUthmānī, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Wazīr al-Jarawī, from al-Ḥārith ibn Miskīn, from him (5).

I add: it is a single fascicle. Abū Muḥammad ibn al-Naḥḥās al-Miṣrī heard it from Muḥammad ibn Bishr al-ʿAkrī. Miqdām ibn Dāwūd al-Ruʿaynī told us: al-Ḥārith ibn Miskīn and Abū Zayd ibn Abī al-Ghimr said, “Ibn al-Qāsim narrated it to us.”

They elevated this chapter to the status of a foundational text, and Abu Muhammad Abd Allah ibn Masrur, the jurist from Qayrawan, relied on it when composing his work on the subject. (1) According to Qadi Iyad, he was the tutor of Malik ibn Anas. (2) He was one of the leading scholars of Medina, considered a contemporary of Malik; he narrated from Abu Hazim and Zayd ibn Aslam, and trustworthy transmitters reported from him and declared him reliable.
