حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي، النَّضْرِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ وَقَالَ عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1123c
This hadith is another route for the Arafah fasting report. It says Abu Nadr narrated it from Umair, the freed slave of Umm al-Fadl, through the same chain of transmitters. The wording points back to the earlier narration and does not present a separate new story. Its main lesson is about how hadith reports were preserved with care. For people searching for Sahih Muslim 1123c or the Prophet drinking milk at Arafah, this narration helps confirm that the same report reached us through a known route. The focus remains on the day of Arafah, the question of fasting, and careful transmission.
What we learn from this hadith
- The same report may be preserved through closely tracked chains.
- Narrator names and links matter in hadith transmission.
- This narration supports the wider Arafah fasting report without adding a new event.
