The Methodology Of Imam Malik | How To Treat Hadith | Mufti Abu Layth

that it's not about saying we reject we it's not that we reject we don't reject Hadith we treat Hadith with relativism as Imam Malik does in the mouth so Imam Malik's book is the most authentic book of Hadith on Earth according to um at least several Dawns of Hadith by okay let's uh especially the malachia called the iyad you will see

Imam Malik's book is the number one the book of Hadith okay um Imam is testimony that there is not a book on Earth after the Quran that is like the mutta now some people say that's because bukhari hadn't authored his book yet sure this is not a dis to bukhari but it's just to say that even Imam buhari said that the most authentic chain on Earth is Imam Malik's golden chain so Imam Malik brings several Hadith from his golden chain and then on certain occasions not always

but on some occasions he will say here is this Hadith in Medina who is balad the city of the prophet he says in Madina we don't act according to this style only Imam Ali could have done that see anybody else tried to do it they would have called him a deviant they would have called him but Imam Malik that's that's ultimate boss level see nobody could touch him in Hadith

you know there's a there's this Imam bukhari has a discussion on um what was his name Hussein narrator and his Imam buhari is not happy with him he says that you and he wants to criticize it and then he says

Imam Ali he says if it wasn't for he says the fact that Imam Malik transmitted from this person I bow my head in awe and I'm unable to criticize this narrator despite wanting to but the fact that Imam Malik accepted him Legends yeah Legends in Islam true leadership see those are the you see we leadership we must admire leadership and

everybody follows someone if you ought to choose an Imam you know these are my thoughts okay you don't need to accept this but if you are to choose an Imam who will guide you in a broad methodology don't look to people like ibnatemia or people like even okay they're Scholars of Islam came about 700 years ago but you will find yourself at times in great Peril and we'll see

because of this discussion of Satanic Verses you're going to see these names come up again in a very problematic way look to Legends like Imam Malik they were in the time of the salaf they were they the the prophecy of the Prophet that they will be the Alim of Medina and Imam Ali teaches you Hadith relativism you see when he's rejecting not rejecting when he's bringing the Hadith he's not disrespecting see there's a big

difference we don't disrespect anything we don't disrespect uh elements of this tradition of this Legacy they carry a an honor a sanctity Imam Malik is bringing what is called acai Hadith that exists the chain the most sahih chain that exists because what makes a Hadith the five conditions

that's the poem yeah so that you see these five conditions that and it's all to do with the chain so okay and there is as well and this is something which anyway is for it's for another discussion because people then vary how they what is it is that talking about the chain or the mutton really it should be the mutton as well which many do accept in principle but so here Imam Malik is bringing this he's respecting it he's putting it in his book He's not disrespecting the tradition he's bringing putting it in his own book

and with that is explaining his methodology is giving you an example but he's explaining indicatively a H he's bringing this Hadith and saying in our city in the city we don't act according to this Hadith by that he's teaching you that there will be several Hadith that come outside of this book as well

his book is the most authentic book by testimony of especially these chains by testimony of uh Imam bukhari silsility saying his book has other chains as well by the way it doesn't mean that but he brings from this chain as well it says in ours in this city we don't act accordingly do we disrespect it no no no no need for disrespect just understand that whatever's gone wrong maybe somebody Imam Malik was with

abusive and abusive try to question the other of the people of Medina because the adhan of the people of Madina just had Allahu Akbar twice not four times that's the other which is common today so the adhan of Madina and the malikia so in Morocco in these places they only do Allahu Akbar twice so the so Abu Yusuf another use of deed have a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor and sarcasm and so he says

society that the people of Medina don't know the event Imam Malik's response to him is is epic he says he says maybe there is another somewhere maybe the prophet went on a journey one day he did something and somebody picked it up and taught it maybe we weren't there maybe for one day one night something happened

he says but as to that which was announced in the streets of Madina which the children learned from their fathers who taught their children which we hear today announced five times a day in an unbroken succession then that is this other that you are hearing now and with that rests its case this is the practice of the people of Madina it's a gold mine that Imam Malik taught

us so this is a methodology okay they say is in the poem says that she plucked a rose petal and with such Elegance crushed it in front of us

foreign symbolically she explained to us that this is what we do to the hearts that's what's gonna happen that so that danger interact your own risk it's one of those so right now so that's the the methodology so don't it's not about disdain or it's about understanding that the practice of Medina

the methodology that there will be Hadith there will be Sunnah there may be an overlap but they're not every Hadith is not every Sunnah was documented and not everything that was documented was the Sun and people made mistakes as well along the way you accept that as well you know and I tell you Imam Malik taught you that as well see now you're gonna say look at this there is a rowi that Imam Ali transmitted from

later on he came to realize that this person used to make mistakes and Imam Malik says oh teaching you see this is the incident but the methodology see this is the the actual thing but the indication he says I was misled by his excessive sujood and prayer in the Masjid Imam Malik is telling you I made a

mistake now I made a mistake I was misled I documented something from him thinking it was a Hadi pretty person I was misled by the fact that he was a good man see what is that teaching you don't think it's always out of malice sometimes it may be sometimes it's just people making mistakes he said he used to pray so much in the Masjid when he said the prophet of Allah said this I took note of it

he was wrong the prophet did not say that I was misled to document there's so much volumes can be written on how this is why I so favor them the method of the school of matina Let's uh move on people
