This narration is a supporting version of the previous report. It says that a hadith like it was transmitted through 'Abd al-Malik b. Umair with the same chain of narrators, but with a slight change of words. It also notes the wording 'without using the flat part of the sword' and does not include the word 'from him' as in the other wording. The main topic remains jealousy, Allah's greater jealousy, and the prohibition of open and hidden abominations as stated in the connected report. Since this narration is brief, its main role is to preserve a wording difference while supporting the same meaning.
