Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2404c
This entry is a brief transmission note for the Hadith about Ali's virtue. It says the hadith has been narrated through Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters. Since the text does not repeat the full wording here, the meaning is taken from the connected narration: the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told Ali that he was to him like Harun was to Musa, except that there would be no prophet after him. The value of this report is not a new event or a new teaching. Its value is in recording another transmission route for the same statement, which is important for readers studying Sahih Muslim 2404c and the reports on Ali's rank.
What we learn from this hadith
- This report preserves another route for the same narration.
- It does not add a new event beyond the connected wording.
- The core meaning remains Ali's praised position and the end of prophethood.
- Short chain reports help show how the narration was transmitted.
