 The Four Imams
Imam Malik refused the offer and indicated that he preferred to continue his residence in Medina where the Holy Prophet was buried.
Imam Malik's followers and disciples developed a Fiqh school based on his books which came to be known as the Maliki Madhhab.
Although Imam Malik wrote many treatises dealing with religion and ethics, Kitab-al-Muwatta is acknowledged as the most important among his writings.

 MALIK'S MUWATTA, BOOK 3: Prayer
Malik was asked about the muadhdhin saying "Peace be upon you" to the imam and calling him to the prayer, and he was asked who was the first person to whom such a greeting was made.
Malik was asked about doubling the adhan and the iqama, and at what point people had to stand when the iqama for the prayer was called.
Malik said, concerning someone who forgot in his prayer and stood up after he had completed four rakas and recited and then went into ruku and then, when he raised his head from ruku, remembered that he had already completed (his prayer), "He returns to a sitting position and does not do any sajda.

 Malik ibn Anas ibn Malik ibn `Amr, al-Imam, Abu `Abd Allah al-Humyari al-Asbahi al-Madani
Imam Malik is the connection of the entire Islamic Community to the knowledge of the Sunna as it was preserved by the scholars of the Prophet’s city, al-Madina.
Imam Malik held the hadith of the Prophet in such reverence that he never narrated anything nor gave a fatwa unless in a state of ritual purity.
Malik composed it in the course of forty years, having started with ten thousand narrations until he reduced them to their present number of under 2,000.

 ImamMalik
Malik was born and lived his whole life in Madina and saw the traces of the Companions and Followers and the grave of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and all the great places there.
Malik lived surrounded by the traces of the Tabi'un and Companions, and he learned the fatwas of the Companions from the Tabi'un and singled out those whose opinions were best.
Malik devoted himself to knowledge from an early age and sought it out from the people of knowledge in Madina.

 'Al-Jami' Al-Sahih': A Review
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah assembled all these topics in his Al-Jami'us Sahih preserving the highest level of authenticity in the whole collection, precisely accepting only those narrations which were undisputedly narrated by and culminated at, without any gaps in the chain, to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam himself.
Imam Nasai and Imam Abu Dawood rahimahumallah accept the first three categories unconditionally and the fourth one only on the condition that the narrators are 'Mashhoor' (famous).
The point we can derive from this is a certain fact that the Imam rahimahullah should have finished in or before the year 233 AH, as this is the year when Imam Yahya bin Ma'een rahimahullah passed away.

 Definition of Madhhab
Sunnis believe that all four schools have the correct guidance, and the differences lie not in the fundamentals of faith, but instead in finer judgements and jurisprudence, which are a result of the independent reasoning of the 4 imams and the scholars who followed them.
For example, there are subtle differences in the methods of prayer in the 4 schools, yet the difference is not such that separate prayers need to be held.
There are some reports that they did live at the same time and, although Malik was much younger, their mutual respect is well-known.

 Forum on Australian Islamic Relations
Whoever wishes to pursue this must read the words of the mujtahid imam Abu al-Hasan (Taqi al-Din) al-Subki, of his son Taj al-Din Subki, of the Imam al-`Izz ibn Jama`a and others of the Shafi`i, Maliki, and Hanafi shaykhs...
Therefore if it is true of him that he is a disbeliever and an innovator, then Allah will deal with him with His justice, and other than that He will forgive us and him.
His student al-Dhahabi praised him lavishly as "the brilliant shaykh, imam, erudite scholar, censor, jurist, mujtahid, and commentator of the Qur'an," but acknowledged that Ibn Taymiyya's disparaging manners alienated even his admirers.

 ISNA
Malik (full name Malik bin Anas bin Malik bin Abu Amir Al-Asbahi) was born in 93 A.H. and died in 179 A.H. He lived most of his life in Madinah, the city in which the Prophet (pbuh) settled in.
It is important to realize, however, that Malik's collection is not complete: there are other scholars who worked as Malik did and collected other reports.
He was a preeminent scholar of Islam, and is the originator of the Maliki judicial school of thought.
