وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ أَنْ يُنْتَبَذَ فِيهِ .
The above hadith is narrated through a different chain with slight variation in wording.
[1] Al-Muzaffat is that which is coated with pitch or tar. Similar is Al-Muqayyar . [2] Hantam is an earthenware jar. [3] An-Naqîr is something that was hollowed out, like the stump or a large cut of a date palm tree.Reference : Sahih Muslim 1992bIn-book reference : Book 36, Hadith 41USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 23, Hadith 4913
Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1992b
This Hadith says the previous report is narrated through a different chain with a slight variation in wording. The connected teaching is about the Prophet forbidding the preparation of Nabidh in gourd and varnished jar. The core topic is Nabidh containers and careful narration. For a reader searching Sahih Muslim 1992b, hadith about Nabidh in gourd, or Nabidh in varnished jar, this report matters because it shows the same teaching coming by another route. It does not add a new container in the translation. It mainly supports the earlier wording. The lesson is to respect both the ruling mentioned and the care taken in preserving small differences between narrations.
What we learn from this hadith
- A second chain can support the same teaching.
- Small wording changes are noted in Hadith study.
- The connected ruling remains about Nabidh in named containers.
