Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1873e
This narration says that a version transmitted from Urwa ibn al-Ja'd carries the same tradition but does not mention reward and booty. So the topic is still the hadith about horses and the good tied to their forelocks, but the wording is brief. This matters for readers searching horse forelock hadith, Urwa ibn al-Ja'd hadith, and goodness in horses hadith, because it shows that some reports preserve the short wording while others include an explanation. The safest reading is to keep the explanation close to the text. This version tells us about the same prophetic teaching and also points out exactly what is absent from this wording.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration identifies the Urwa ibn al-Ja'd version of the report.
- It does not include the words reward and booty.
- The core topic remains good tied to horse forelocks.
- The report teaches careful attention to what a version says and does not say.
