Muwatta Malik is one of the earliest and most respected collections of hadith and Islamic jurisprudence, compiled by Imam Malik ibn Anas. It combines the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with the practices of the people of Madinah, serving as a foundational text for Maliki fiqh and Islamic legal tradition.

Book 5, Jumu’ah, discusses the Friday congregational prayer, its significance, and related practices.
