وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَبَشِيًّا مُجَدَّعًا وَزَادَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِنًى أَوْ بِعَرَفَاتٍ .
Another version of the tradition does not qualify the slave with the epithets" maimed,"" an Abyssinian" but makes the addition: " I have heard the Prophet (ﷺ) (say this) at Mina or 'Arafat."

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1838d
This narration says that another version does not use the descriptive words "maimed" or "Abyssinian." It also adds that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was heard saying this at Mina or 'Arafat. That makes the entry useful for readers searching for the Last Pilgrimage sermon hadith or Sahih Muslim 1838d explanation. The core teaching remains tied to the linked report about listening and obeying the appointed leader who guides according to the Book of Allah. The added detail tells us where the statement was heard, while the missing descriptors show a wording difference. The safe lesson is to keep both points clear: the message of obedience remains, and the narrator carefully reports what was or was not mentioned in this version.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version does not include the descriptors 'maimed' or 'Abyssinian.'
- It adds that the statement was heard at Mina or 'Arafat.
- The wording difference is part of what this entry preserves.
- The connected teaching remains listening and obeying leadership guided by Allah’s Book.
