Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1164b
This narration reports the same meaning as the six fasts of Shawwal Hadith through another chain of transmitters. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari said that he heard Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying like this. The connected wording is about fasting Ramadan and then following it with six fasts of Shawwal, which is compared to perpetual fasting. Since this narration is brief, the explanation should not add details that are not present in the report. It is useful for people searching for Sahih Muslim 1164b, Abu Ayyub Shawwal fasting Hadith, and another chain of six Shawwal fasts. The key point is that the same teaching is preserved through another route.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration supports the six Shawwal fasts report through another chain.
- It keeps the focus on what Abu Ayyub heard from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
- The text does not add a separate schedule or extra condition.
- The Hadith shows repeated transmission of the same Shawwal fasting teaching.
