Sahih MuslimHadith Number 142h
وَحَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَوَادَةُ بْنُ أَبِي، الأَسْوَدِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، مَرِضَ فَأَتَاهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَعُودُهُ . نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَعْقِلٍ، .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 142h
This report is brief and mainly records another route of transmission. Abu al-Aswad says that his father related that Ma'qil b. Yasir fell ill and Ubaidullah b. Ziyad came to visit him. The text then says the tradition follows the narration of Hasan from Ma'qil. Because the full warning is not repeated here, the explanation should stay careful. The entry supports the same report about leadership, ruler accountability, and the danger of betraying the people under one’s care. For searches like Sahih Muslim 142h and Ma'qil b Yasir hadith, this narration helps identify the supporting chain and the setting of illness and visit.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report records another route for the Ma'qil b. Yasir narration.
- It mentions Ma'qil’s illness and Ibn Ziyad’s visit.
- The full warning is not repeated in this wording.
- The safest reading is to treat it as a supporting transmission of the same report.
