answer-to-an-enemy-of-islam

Muwatta’: “Imâm Mâlik is a well-
known imâm al-madhhab. He was the highest of the high. He was
a man of perfect intellect and obvious virtue. He was the inheritor
of Rasûlullah’s (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) hadîths. He spread
Allâhu ta’âlâ’s religion among His human creatures. He had been
in the company of nine hundred ’ulamâ’ and had gained much. He
collected and wrote 100 000 hadîths. He began to teach when he
was seventeen years old. Those who attended his lectures were
more than those who attended his masters’ lectures. They would
assemble before his door in order to learn hadîth and fiqh. He had
to hire a doorkeeper. First his disciples and then all other people
would be admitted. He would go to the water-closet once every
three days. ‘I feel ashamed to stay too long in the water-closet,’ he
would say. When he wrote his book 
Muwatta’, he began to doubt
his own faithfulness. He put the book into water. ‘If the book gets
wet, I will not need it,’ he said. Not a bit of the book got wet.”
’Abd ar-Rahmân ibn Anas said, “There is nobody on the earth
now who is more dependable than Mâlik in the knowledge of
hadîth. I have seen no person wiser than he. Sufyân ath-Thawrî is
an imâm in hadîth, but he is not an imâm in the Sunna. Al-Awzâ’î
is an imâm in the Sunna but not in hadîth. Imâm Mâlik is an imâm
both in hadîth and the Sunna.” Yahyâ ibn Sa’îd said, “Imâm
Mâlik is Allâhu ta’âlâ’s witness on the earth for His human
creatures.” Al-Imâm ash-Shâfi’î said, “Wherever hadîth is

studied, Mâlik is like a celestial star. Nobody could be like Mâlik
in memorizing, understanding and preserving knowledge. To me,
in the knowledge about Allâhu ta’âlâ nobody is as trustworthy as
Mâlik. The witness between Allâhu ta’âlâ and me is Imâm Malik.
Had it not been for Mâlik and Sufyân ibn ’Uyaina, knowledge
would have gone from the Hijâz by now.” When ’Abdullah asked
his father Ahmad ibn Hanbal who was the most learned among
Zahrî’s disciples, his father said that Mâlik was the most learned
in every branch of knowledge. Ibn Wahab said, “If it weren’t for
Mâlik and Laith, we all would deviate.” Al-Awzâ’î, whenever he
heard the name of Imâm Mâlik, would say, “He is the most
learned of the learned, the greatest ’âlim of Medina, and the Muftî
of al-Haramain.” Upon hearing of Imâm Mâlik’s death, Sufyân
ibn ’Uyaina said, “The world does not have anybody like him
now. He was the imâm of the world, the ’âlim of the Hijâz, the
witness of his time and the sun of the Ummat al-Muhammad (sall-
Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam). Let us be on his way.” Ahmad ibn
Hanbal said that Imâm Mâlik was superior to Sufyân ath-Thawrî,
Laith, Hammâd and al-Awzâ’î. Sufyân ibn ’Uyaina said that the
hadîth ash-sherîf,
