A'isha Narrated from:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters also. Some of the other ahadith narrated through other chains of transmitters are more complete and there is an addition in them (transmitted through other chains of transmitters). In the hadith transmitted on the authority of the nephew of Majishun she (A'isha) is reported to have said: I took it and prepared two cushions out of that and he (the Holy Prophet) used to recline against them in the house.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2107o
This report is about different chains carrying the same hadith, with some routes being more complete than others. It says that several narrations came from A'isha through Nafi and al-Qasim. Then it mentions an added wording in one route: A'isha took the material, made two cushions from it, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to recline on them in the house. The report is important for people searching hadith wording variation, Aisha cushions hadith, or pictures in Islam hadith because it shows how one narration can be preserved through several chains, while one route carries an extra detail. The explanation should stay with the text: it records completion, addition, cushions, and reclining in the house.
What we learn from this hadith
- Some routes of the same hadith may be more complete than others.
- One added wording says A'isha made two cushions from the material.
- The report records that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم reclined on those cushions in the house.
