Imam Malik aur Khabar-e-Wahid: Jab Madine ke Amal ne Sahih Hadith ko Rok Diya

Woh Imam Jis Ne Hadith Khud Likhi — Aur Phir Us Par Amal Na Kiya

Madina, hijrat ki doosri sadi. Masjid-e-Nabawi ke saaye mein Imam Malik bin Anas woh kitab murattab kar rahe hain jo unhein amar kar degi: "Muwatta". Woh ek hadith "Silsilat-uz-Zahab" yani sone ki sanad se darj karte hain — Malik, an Nafi', an Ibn Umar, an Rasool Allah: kharidne aur bechne wale ko juda hone tak sauda mansookh karne ka ikhtiyar hai. Phir apni hi kitab ki agli satar mein likhte hain: hamare haan Madine mein is par koi amal nahin. Hadith sahih hai — Bukhari aur Muslim dono ne baad mein ise riwayat kiya. Magar jis imam ne ise riwayat kiya, usi ne is par fatwa na diya, kyunke ahl-e-Madina ka amal is par na tha. Madine hi ke ek hum-asr aalim ne is par aise sakht alfaz kahe ke sadiyon baad Zahabi ko dono ka difa karna pada. Aur ek nasl baad Imam Malik ke apne shagird Shafi'i ne "Al-Risala" likhi, jis ki taweel tareen behas goya ustaad ke manhaj ke khilaf ek muqaddama hai.

Yeh mazmoon kisi mazhab ka mazaq nahin udata. Hum wohi karenge jo hamesha karte hain: kitabein kholenge, mutoon jyon ke tyon pesh karenge, aur do sawal poochenge. Malik ne Muwatta mein kya likha? Shafi'i ne kya jawab diya? Faisla, hamesha ki tarah, aap ka hai.
