Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1159i
This entry is a short wording note connected to the previous narration. It says the Hadith was narrated through the same chain, and the wording included the phrase: you would become exhausted. Because the text itself is brief, its lesson should be kept brief too. It does not introduce a new fasting schedule or a new rule by itself. Its value is that it preserves a specific wording about exhaustion. For readers searching for hadith about exhaustion from worship, this note supports the idea already found in the surrounding reports: taking on more than one can carry may weaken a person. The focus remains on the recorded wording and the careful chain.

- Small wording differences in Hadith transmission may be recorded.
