Truly I am a mortal

Reference: Ibn ‘Abdul Barr in Jaami’ Bayaan al-‘Ilm v2 p32, Ibn Hazm, quoting from the former in Usool al-Ahkaam v6 p149, and similarly Al-Fulaani p72

Imaam Maalik ibn Anas رحمه الله said:

Truly I am only a mortal: I make mistakes [sometimes] and I am correct [sometimes]. Therefore, look into my opinions: all that agrees with the Book and the Sunnah, accept it; and all that does not agree with the Book and the Sunnah, ignore it.
