وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَهْلاً، يَقُولُ أَتَى أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فَلَمَّا أَكَلَ سَقَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ .
Sahl Narrated from:
Abu Usaid al-Sa'idi came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); the rest of the hadith is the same, but he did not mention this: when he had eaten (the food) she gave him this to drink".

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2006b
This hadith about wedding hospitality is a shorter report through Sahl. It says that Abu Usaid al-Sa'idi came to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and the rest of the hadith is the same as the related report before it. The translation notes one difference: it does not mention the words, “when he had eaten, she gave him this to drink.” So the key content remains the wedding invitation and the drink prepared from steeped dates, but this version leaves out that final phrase. The lesson should stay tied to what is stated. It shows the same event with a slight difference in wording, without adding a new separate teaching.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration reports the same wedding feast event in shorter wording.
- It does not include the final phrase about serving the drink after food.
- The core setting remains hospitality connected to a wedding invitation.
- Different chains may preserve the same event with slight wording differences.
