All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the earth and heavens, who has bestowed the scholars with the inheritance of the prophets. The first sermon highlights Imam Malik bin Anas, a prominent scholar from Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, who dedicated his life to serving the guidance of Prophet Muhammad. Born into a family of scholars, Malik's mother recognized the importance of knowledge and dressed him in his finest clothes to pursue it.
He sought guidance from the scholars, starting with Rabi'ah bin Abi Abdul-Rahman, and later learned from Nafi'. Imam Malik's commitment to the Hadith was unwavering; if he doubted a Hadith, he discarded it entirely. He treated the Hadith of the Prophet with utmost reverence and exercised precision in transmitting it. Imam Malik's assembly was a place of dignity and knowledge, free from disputation. He advised students of knowledge to possess dignity, tranquility, and fear of Allah.
