وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يُتِمَّ الْقِصَّةَ كَإِتْمَامِ مَنْ ذَكَرْنَا حَدِيثَهُمْ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1812f
This hadith entry is a short transmission note. It says the report was transmitted on the authority of Yazid b. Hurmuz, but it was not complete like the fuller narrations given before it. The text states that Najda wrote to Ibn Abbas, then only part of the hadith was mentioned and the full story was not completed. So the main value of this entry is not a new teaching by itself. It shows that some chains carried only part of the report, while other chains preserved the longer wording. For readers searching Sahih Muslim 1812f explanation, this point matters: the entry should be read as a partial version of the same account.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version preserves only part of the report.
- Not every chain in a collection gives the full wording.
- The fuller meaning should be understood from the complete versions nearby.
- A partial narration should be handled with care.
