The noted difference is in the wording about what was sent: the report mentions the haunch or the two hind legs. This version does not bring a new event. It helps preserve how the report was carried by narrators. The core topic remains hare meat being accepted by the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم in the wider report. For readers searching “Sahih Muslim 1953b” or “hare meat hadith,” the main point is that this is a linked version with a small wording variation, not a separate story.
