Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1975b
This entry is a short hadith transmission note, so its lesson is different from longer qurbani meat hadiths. The text says that the hadith was narrated on the authority of Mu'awiya b. Salih with the same chain of transmitters. It does not add a new command, a new event, or a new wording in the translation. For that reason, a careful explanation should not invent extra detail from this line alone. Its value is in showing that the report was preserved through the same route of narration. For readers searching Sahih Muslim 1975b, the focus is hadith chain support connected to the nearby report about preparing sacrificial meat for the journey.
