Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2605b
This hadith about reconciliation with slight wording variation supports the previous report through the same chain of transmitters, while noting a small difference in wording. The translation says it is like the earlier narration, except that in this version the wording reports, she said, and it mentions the three cases in a form linked to the narration. The main teaching remains speech used to repair relationships. A person who tries to bring reconciliation among people and speaks or conveys good is not treated like a liar in the way the hadith describes. The text is careful and limited. It does not open the door to false speech for selfish reasons. It points to peace-making speech.
