Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2995d
This narration says that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported a Hadith like the previous reports through another chain of transmitters. The meaning stays connected to the same yawning etiquette: when a person yawns, he should restrain it and use his hand, because the reports mention Satan entering. This short narration does not add a new ruling or story. It points back to the same practical instruction. A Muslim should not treat yawning as something to display openly. The Hadith about yawning teaches simple control, especially when the earlier connected reports mention covering the mouth and restraining the yawn.
What we learn from this hadith
- The same yawning instruction is reported through another chain.
- A yawn should not be left open and careless.
- The related wording teaches restraint and covering the mouth.
- Small actions can reflect Islamic manners.
