Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1704a
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنِ الأَمَةِ . بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَالضَّفِيرُ الْحَبْلُ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1704a
This narration gives the same slave girl zina hadith through Abu Huraira and Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani. Its value is in showing that the same ruling was transmitted without the added note from Ibn Shihab explaining that dafir means rope. The core topic remains the ruling for a slave-woman who commits zina: punishment is mentioned in the earlier wording, and sale is mentioned after repeated offence. For readers searching for Sahih Muslim 1704a explanation, the important point is that this report does not add a new legal detail. It confirms the same report while leaving out one explanatory comment. This helps readers see the difference between the prophetic wording and a narrator’s word explanation.
What we learn from this hadith
- A narration may carry the same ruling while leaving out a narrator’s explanation.
- The report links Abu Huraira and Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani to the same topic.
- The core ruling remains tied to the slave-woman’s repeated proven zina.
