حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَسْوَدُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1603d
This collateral hadith is important because it teaches careful reading. The report says that the hadith was narrated from ‘A’isha through another chain, but it notes that this version did not mention the pledge being made of iron. That means the core report remains about the purchase and the pledge, while this wording leaves out one material detail. For readers searching for a pledge in Islam hadith, this is a reminder not to merge every version into one sentence without care. Some narrations mention the iron coat of mail, while this one does not mention iron. The teaching here is not a new rule, but a method: keep each report’s wording clear and do not add a detail to a version that does not carry it.
What we learn from this hadith
- Different chains may carry small wording differences.
- This version does not mention that the pledge was iron.
- Careful reading helps avoid adding details to a specific narration.
