In fiqh, the Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Malik ibn Anas (r.a.) surpassed his contemporaries in Madina. Shaykh Wahb ibn Rashid (r.a.) said, “I have never seen someone with the knowledge of deducing from the Qur’an as Malik, along with his great recognition of strong and weak narrations.”
Shaykh ‘Abdullah ibn Luhay’ah (r.a.) said, “I asked an-Nadhr ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar who has a saying after Rabi’ah in Madina? He replied, ‘al-Ghulam al-Aswbahi.’” “al-Ghulam al-Aswbahi” is another nickname of Imam Malik (r.a.)
Imam Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hanbal (r.a.) said, “I compared Imam Malik to Awza’iy, ats-Tsawri, Layts, Hammad, and al-Hakam, in knowledge, and he is the leader in hadits and fiqh.”
