In this essay, I use the numerous extensive quotations from Mālik found in al-Shāfiʿī’s Kitāb al-Umm to reconstruct what might be called al-Shāfiʿī’s recension of Mālik’s Muwaṭṭaʾ and to compare this recension with the surviving complete Muwaṭṭaʾ recensions of Abū Muṣʿab al-Zuhrī, Ibn Bukayr, and Yaḥyā b. Yaḥyā al-Laythī. I present examples of the differences between the recensions, analyze one specific type of variant closely, and use my findings to suggest possible reasons for the various kinds of discrepancies. Through this analysis I both affirm Mālik’s role as the Muwaṭṭaʾ’s author and situate the nature of his authorship in the context of teaching and transmission practices and the materiality of the book in the second/eighth century.

在这篇文章中，我使用马利克众多丰富报价在人沙菲仪的发现基塔AL-乌姆盖斯尔重建可能被称为马利克的人沙菲仪的校订Muwaṭṭa'并为此校订与尚存的完整比较Muwaṭṭa'阿布Muṣ'abAL-的校订Zuhrī、Ibn Bukayr 和 Yaḥyā b. Yaḥyā al-Laythī。我提供了不同的示例，仔细分析了一种特定类型的变体，并使用我的发现来提出各种差异的可能原因。通过这种分析，我都肯定了马利克作为Muwaṭṭaʾ的作者，并将他的作者性质置于教学和传播实践的背景下，以及该书在 2/8 世纪的重要性。
