Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1956b
This narration is a supporting chain for the report about not making animals targets. It says the hadith was narrated on the authority of Shu’bah through other chains of transmitters. The wording here does not repeat the whole scene, but it points back to the same report in which Anas saw people using a hen as a target and cited the Prophet’s prohibition. The lesson remains tied to the text: animals should not be tied up and shot at for practice. For readers searching “Sahih Muslim 1956b” or “animal target hadith chain,” this version matters because it preserves the report through other routes rather than adding a new event.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version is transmitted through other chains from Shu’bah.
- It supports the same animal-target prohibition.
- It does not add a separate new incident.
- The core message remains that animals should not be tied as targets.
