Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2602b
This narration explains slight wording differences in reports transmitted through A'mash. In one narration, the wording is make it a source of reward, and in the report of Abu Huraira the wording is make it a source of mercy. The main idea remains connected to the Prophet's supplication for a Muslim affected by his harsh word, curse, or similar action. This hadith about mercy and reward is useful because it shows how close narrations can carry small wording changes while keeping the same theme. The teaching stays within the text: reward and mercy are both mentioned as requested outcomes from Allah for the Muslim concerned.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration records wording differences between reports.
- Reward and mercy are both mentioned as outcomes requested from Allah.
- The focus remains on a Muslim affected by the Prophet's action or words.
- Small wording changes can still carry the same main meaning.
