Hadith is the second basic source of Islamic Sharrah. Imam Malik (RA) proposed the collection of Hadith according to the Fiqhi-classification, in the end of second century Hijrah calender. This collection was named Muwatta. The important thing is that the author of this book is the Imam of Hadith as well as the /mam of Figh. Shah 'Abdul `Aziz Mohaddith Dehlavi (RA) has counted 16 manuscripts of this book. Arabic and non-arabic scholars have written many commentaries of Muwatta, including Awjaz al-Masalik authored by Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya (RA), which encompasses the summery of almost all the commentaries of the book. The book is totally free from all kind of sectarian prejudices. It is very famous among the scholars. Its study becomes easier if we consider its methodology of description.
