Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1101d
This narration is mainly about transmission and wording. It says that the hadith was narrated from Ibn Abi Aufa through another chain with a slight alteration of words. It also notes that some words, such as during the month of Ramadan and the night prevailing from that side, are not found in every route, but are found in the narration of Hushaim. The main event remains connected to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم breaking the fast after sunset and teaching the sign of iftar. This report is helpful because it shows careful preservation of wording. It does not create a new teaching; it documents how the same fasting report was transmitted.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration highlights slight wording differences between chains.
- It keeps the main report connected to iftar after sunset.
- The text shows care in noting which words appear in which narration.
