This is the majority view!
However there's a dispute about the 6th book some scholars considered al-Muwatta' the 6th in this collection among them are as-Saraqusti in his book called a-Tajreed fi al-Jami'i bayna as-Sihah التجريد في الجمع بين الصحاح and the eldest brother of the famous historian and mohhadith and author of al-Kamil fi at-Tareekh: Majd ad-Din ibn al-Athir (the three brothers were all mohadiths and historians however 'Ali 'Izz a-Din was the most famous among them).
Further in the maghreb al-Muwatta' was even regarded as of higher rank than the two sahihs.
All three authors predated imam al-Bukhari or at least were born and died before him. Nevertheless imam al-Bukhari had already shown his Sahih for example to imam Ahmad before Ahmad completed his Musnad. The same could also be the case for imam a-Darimi who was born 181 a.H. and died a year earlier than imam al-Bukhari.
The contemporary scholar ibn Amin made a comparison between some hadith collections content compared to the two Sahihs based on an application of a company called Harf, which includes -as far as I understand- a database of hadith collections with which one could perform search and stastical analysis activities. Here's just a translation of what he shared on his website in an article about the amount of Sahih narrations -see here-:
In this article he also said that ibn Majah had compared to the other 5 books an addition of 600 ahadith at least 500 of them are da'if. While al-Muwatta' only had 50 more ahadith that were not mentioned in any of the other five.
Due to the fact that al-Muwatta' is a guide line for the maliki school of fiqh and a source for other schools of fiqh among ahl al-Hadith and the version of imam Muhammad ibn al-Hassan a-Shaybani is a source of the hadith of abu Hanifa and also a source for comparison between the hadith of al-Hijaz (ahl al-Hadith) and al-Kufa (ahl ar-Ra'y) it is the most commented hadith collection and may have even more commentaries than both sahihs.
لم يعتن بكتاب من كتب الحديث والعلم اعتناء الناس بالموطأ فإن الموافق والمخالف اجتمع على تقديره وتفضيله وروايته وتقديم حديثه وتصحيحه.

People did not take care of a book from the books of hadith and science as people take care of al-Muwatta', for the agreeing (supporter in view) and the disagreeing (opponent in view) gathered in appreciating it, preferring it, narrating it, presenting its hadith and correcting it.
Aslam alikum
This is a reply to my previous question (Ref-No#: 3220). Clarification of some points.
Please advice both arabic and english books of maliki fiqh.
I am a complete beginner I have just started studying muwatta imam malik and watched some lectures on you tube.
I have no access to ustad who know about maliki fiqh, I am self studying.
It is important to study the basics with a teacher, and thereafter atleast have him coach you through the other books. If there is no Maliki scholar available in your community and you are unable to travel, see if you can get someone to teach you online.
