Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2687b
This narration is another report of the Hadith about reward, sin, nearness, and forgiveness. The text says it was transmitted on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters. It also notes a small wording difference: for a good deed, there is ten like that good, or more than that. The entry does not repeat every part as a fresh detailed narration. Its main role is to preserve the wording variation linked to the fuller report. For searches like tenfold reward hadith or good deed ten times hadith, this narration highlights the phrase about ten rewards or more, while staying connected to the same chain.
What we learn from this hadith
- A good deed is described as receiving ten like it or more.
- The narration records a wording difference instead of ignoring it.
- This report should be read with the fuller narration on the same topic.
