Before teaching Hadith, he would bathe, wear his best clothes and put on perfume. His chain — Malik, from Nafi‘, from Ibn ‘Umar — is called “the golden chain”. The fifth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Imam Malik ibn Anas, imam of Madinah, from the Qur’an, authentic Hadith and the recognised books of biography, with unproven stories clearly marked. “So ask the people of the message.”
“And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know.”
