Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1345
This Hadith is another transmission of the same night prayer report. Its special wording says that the Prophet uttered the salam in a way that those present could hear it. Like the previous report, this Hadith does not give a new story or a separate ruling. It protects a detail in the wording of the witr prayer narration. For readers searching for witr prayer hadith, taslim in prayer, or audible salam, the key point is that the narration mentions a clear, heard salam at the end. It also shows how the hadith transmitters kept track of small differences between similar reports.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration preserves a wording detail about the Prophet's salam.
- The salam is described as audible to those present.
- This version stays tied to the same wider night prayer report.
- The text shows careful reporting through a different chain of narrators.
