Al-Ruwat 'an al-Imam Malik min Ahl al-Andalus wa-Yalihi Mustadrak al-Ruwat 'an Malik min Ahl al-Andalus الرواة عن الامام مالك من اهل الاندلس ويليه مستدرك الرواة عن مالك من اهل الاندلس
This is a specialized biographical and historical work focused on the transmission of Islamic knowledge, specifically within the Maliki school of jurisprudence. The book compiles and documents the biographies of scholars, jurists, and narrators from Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) who directly traveled to Medina to study under, or narrate from, Imam Malik bin Anas (d. 179 AH). Al-Andalus was one of the regions where the Maliki school became dominant. This work serves as an essential historical map showing how Imam Malik’s teachings, his Muwatta, and his fiqh opinions were transmitted from Medina to the Iberian Peninsula. The volume includes the Mustadrak (supplement), which supplies missing biographies, additional chains of transmission, and rectifies omissions from earlier biographical registries of Andalusian Maliki narrators.
For researchers of Islamic history, Andalusian heritage, and the development of the Maliki school, this book is a vital reference tool that demonstrates the deep academic links between the Islamic West (al-Maghrib) and the cradle of Islam in Medina.
