Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1465b
This narration about Maimuna being last to die at Medina is brief, but it adds an important detail to the previous report. It comes through the same chain and says that Maimuna was the last of them to die at Medina. Since the wording is short, we should not build more than the text gives. The hadith is mainly useful for readers searching for Maimuna bint al-Harith, the wife of the Prophet, and the report about her death in Medina. It also connects to the earlier narration where Ibn Abbas told people to be gentle when lifting her bier. The safe lesson is to preserve the detail as reported and keep respect for the people mentioned.

- It is linked to the earlier narration through the same chain.
