First: An old copy in Algeria, published by the Orientalist Goldziher in 1905 in Algeria, titled "Muwatta Imam Al-Mahdi".
Second: A copy in the Qarawiyyin library, No. 181/40, written on parchment, missing about two folios from its end, thus losing its transcription date. It is titled "Muhadhi Al-Muwatta".
Third: A copy in the General Library in Rabat, No. 1222j, written on parchment. Its transcription date is mentioned on page 597 as 177. It is titled "Muwatta Imam Al-Mahdi".
Fourth: A copy in the General Library in Rabat, No. 840j, written on parchment. Its transcription date is 1149 AH / 544 AD. It is titled "Muwatta Al-Mahdi bin Tumart".
Despite this slight difference in titles, the four copies are one book, with no difference between them except for a slight variation in arrangement.
Mukhtasar Sahih Muslim: It is Sahih Muslim with the chains of narration removed. It is likely what Ibn al-Qattan referred to when he said: "Then they were ordered [i.e., the boys being raised in the Almohad upbringing during the era of Abd al-Mu'min bin Ali] to write and memorize the books of Tawhid. And the book Muwatta Imam Al-Mahdi, may God be pleased with him, and its memorization. Muslim mentioned among the works of Al-Mahdi, which is evidence that it is also his work." He also referred to it in the words of Ibn al-Abbar: "And among his works [Ahmad bin Atiq bin Al-Hasan bin Ziyad bin Faraj, known as Al-Dhahabi] is the book Al-I'lam." This is contrary to what Abd Allah Ali Allam stated on pages 308 and onwards, differentiating between Almohad call in the Maghreb, Muwatta Imam Al-Mahdi, and Muhadhi Al-Muwatta. See a comprehensive study on Muhadhi Al-Muwatta by Al-Hasan Al-Abadi, mentioned above. Also see: Muhammad Al-Mununi, Historical Sources in the Early Almohad Era: (a transcribed lecture), p. 3.
