وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَمَرَّ بِمَسْجِدِ بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ . بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ .
Amir b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came with a group of his Companions and he passed by the mosque of Banu Mu'awiya. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2890b
This entry is a parallel transmission of the hadith about the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم three requests for his Ummah. It says 'Amir b. Sa'd reported from his father that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came with a group of Companions and passed by the mosque of Banu Mu'awiya. The rest of the hadith is the same. So the core teaching remains the same: the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed for protection from famine and drowning, and those two were granted, while the request that bloodshed not occur among the Ummah was withheld. This narration adds a small setting detail but does not create a new lesson apart from the same concern for the Ummah.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the same report through another wording.
- It mentions the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came with a group of Companions.
- The main lesson remains the Prophet’s supplication for the Ummah.
- The warning about bloodshed among the Ummah remains part of the same report.
