Qatada Narrated from:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatada with the same chain of transmitters but with this variation (of words): " When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came to Dhu'l-Hulaifa" and he made no mention (of the fact) that he led the Zuhr prayer.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1243b
This Hadith is another wording variation connected to the report about Dhu'l-Hulaifa and the sacrificial animal. It is narrated through Qatada with the same chain of transmitters and carries the meaning of Shu'ba's narration. The difference is that this version says, “When Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وسلم) came to Dhu'l-Hulaifa,” and it does not mention that he led the Zuhr prayer there. This makes the Hadith useful for searches about Dhu'l-Hulaifa Hajj hadith, hady in Hajj, and Hadith wording variation. The teaching is not to add details that this version does not mention. It simply preserves the report with one detail omitted.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version keeps the main meaning but has a wording difference.
- It mentions the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) coming to Dhu'l-Hulaifa.
- It does not mention the Zuhr prayer detail found in another wording.
- The narration shows careful preservation of what each narrator reported.
