It is said that Imam Malik looked for over three hundred Tabi’een or those who saw and also followed your companions on the Prophet (PBUH). Imam Malik narrated the hadeeth on the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, in such reverence that he never narrated, taught almost any hadeeth or perhaps gave some sort of fatwa without being in a situation of schedule purity, Ghusl. It is said by Ismael ibn abi Uwaiss that:-
“I asked my uncle Imam Malik – about something. He had me sit, made ablution, and then said, ‘Laa hawla wala quwata illa billah.’ He did not give any fatwa without saying it first.”
He was very much careful about presenting it to the extent if he wasn't sure with regards to a matter, although not are brave enough to discuss. Al-Haytham said, “I once was with Imam Malik any time he has been asked more than forty questions and My partner and i heard him or her reply, ‘I don't know, ’ to thirty two of these people. ”
Yet, he was the person about who ash-Shafi’ee said, “When scholars are mentioned, Malik is like the star among them.” Malik said that he did not necessarily sit to supply fatwa, before seventy in the Madinah first viewed to his / her competence in accomplishing this. He became the imam of the Madina and become the renowned Imam.

In the event the governor associated with Madinah commanded and forced visitors to take the actual oath associated with allegiance to be able to Khalifah al-Mansour, Imam Malik granted a fatwa that this kind of oath was not binding as it was offered under coercion.
