وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ، بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَيَايَاءُ طَبَاقَاءُ . وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ وَقَالَ قَلِيلاَتُ الْمَسَارِحِ . وَقَالَ وَصِفْرُ رِدَائِهَا وَخَيْرُ نِسَائِهَا وَعَقْرُ جَارَتِهَا . وَقَالَ وَلاَ تَنْقُثُ مِيرَتَنَا تَنْقِيثًا . وَقَالَ وَأَعْطَانِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَابِحَةٍ زَوْجًا .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2448b
This narration is about the Umm Zara hadith variation. It does not repeat the full story in translation, but it tells us that the report came through Hisham b. Urwa with slight wording differences. The Arabic text mentions specific changes in words used in the long narration. This is useful because Hadith books often record different wordings when a narration is passed through another route. The main subject here is not a new marriage lesson, but careful preservation of the report. It helps readers understand that scholars did not hide wording differences. They recorded them so the reader could see how the same report was transmitted with small changes while keeping the main narration connected.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hadith scholars preserved small wording differences in narrations.
- A wording variant may support the same main report without adding a new event.
- Careful reporting helps readers understand how a narration was transmitted.
