"Al-Tamhid Lima fi Al-Muwatta' min Al-Ma'ani wa Al-Asanid" is an is a commentary on hadith's recorded in Al-Muwatta'. It was authored by the renowned scholar Ibn 'Abd al-Barr (368-463 AH). This work is considered unique in its field and serves as a comprehensive encyclopedia of Islamic jurisprudence and hadith.

In Al-Tamhid, Ibn Abd al-Barr elaborates on Imam Malik ibn Anas's Al-Muwatta', but organizes it differently. Instead of following Imam Malik's original order, he arranges the work by the chains of transmission (isnad) according to the names of Imam Malik's teachers, from whom he narrated the hadiths in Al-Muwatta'. Ibn Abd al-Barr groups the hadiths of each narrator into separate sections, sorting them alphabetically. He provides biographical information about the narrators, verifies the hadiths, and offers linguistic and jurisprudential explanations. Furthermore, he discusses the views of scholars and jurists.
