Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1250b
This Hadith is mainly about careful Hadith transmission. It does not give a separate legal ruling by itself. Instead, it tells us that Salim b. Hayyin narrated the same report with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight wording difference. The key phrase mentioned is the variation in the narration of Bahz, where the wording includes lahalaltu. This kind of report helps readers see how Hadith narrators preserved both the chain and the wording. It also shows that even small word changes were recorded honestly. For anyone searching for hadith wording variation, chain of transmitters, or hadith preservation, this narration is a clear example of precision in reporting.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hadith transmitters paid attention to both the chain and the wording.
- Small wording differences were not ignored or hidden.
- A narration may support another report without adding a new ruling.
- Careful reporting helps preserve the text with honesty.
