Hi, I edited this page due to mistakes on it (e.g. identifing the Muwatta as a collection of hadiths, which it is not). The changes I made were factual. MezzoMezzo, may I ask why it was reverted? I also added "Prophet" in front of Muhammad (saw), and added "alongside the Qur'an", because the article was quite deceptively written to support the claim of Schacht and co, that the Quran was not important in early Muslim law. Before you revert it back, can you please tell me what your disagreement is? Imam Malik (ra) did not compile the Muwatta as a hadith collection, but as a statement of the law of Medinah, that is the important point that I am making. - Ibn al Hakim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibn al Hakim (talk • contribs) 08:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
