Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2537b
This report is brief and focuses on transmission. It says the hadith was transmitted by Zuhri on the authority of Ma'mar. Since the translation does not repeat the full wording, the explanation should not add new details beyond what is linked to the report. Its value is that it confirms another route for the narration about one hundred years and the passing of that generation. This matters for readers studying Sahih Muslim hadith transmission because it shows that the same report was carried through named narrators. The main educational point here is not a new ruling, but the careful preservation of the report's chain.

- The report records another transmission route for the same hadith.
