Sahih MuslimHadith Number 2052c
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، بْنِ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ . بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ " فَنِعْمَ الأُدُمُ الْخَلُّ " . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ .
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took hold of his hand and led him to his residence as narrated above up to the words: " Vinegar is a good condiment." But in the hadith transmitted through this chain of transmitters, there is no mention of the subsequent part.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2052c
This Hadith reports the same event from Jabir b. Abdullah, where the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم took him by the hand and led him to his residence. The narration is given up to the words that vinegar is a good condiment, and it does not mention the later part found in the other chain. That detail matters because it shows how this version should be read. We should not add what this chain leaves out when explaining this specific text, except by noting that another narration includes more. The core teaching here is still the same: vinegar was available, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم praised it as a good condiment.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version preserves the report up to the praise of vinegar.
- The Hadith should be explained without adding details not in this chain.
- Vinegar is again described as a good condiment.
