The narrator, Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Jabir ibn Hammad al-Marwazi al-Faqih (رحمه الله), said:
“I mentioned this to Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abd al-Hakam, and he said:
‘This was the final statement and action of (Imam) Malik, and upon this he passed away. This is the Sunnah. I act upon it, and so does Harmalah ibn Yahya.’”
