Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1230e
This hadith about a variant report on obstruction in Hajj focuses on the wording of the narration from Ibn Umar. It says the same story was narrated through another chain, but with a difference. In this version, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم is mentioned in the first part, when Ibn Umar was told that people might bar him from the House. Ibn Umar replied that he would do what the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had done. The report also notes that this chain does not mention at the end the words, “This is how the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had done,” unlike the narration of al-Laith.
