Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 406b
This report is a shorter note about the same hadith on sending blessings on Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. It says that Mis'ar narrated a hadith like the previous one through al-Hakam, but his version did not include the phrase, “Should I not offer you a present?” The core topic is still salawat, because the report points back to the wording taught for blessing the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It also shows that the narration was transmitted with care, including small differences in wording. For a reader searching for Durood Ibrahim hadith, this entry helps show how the wording was carried through different transmitters. The teaching should not be stretched beyond the text. Its clear value is in preserving the report and noting which phrase is present in one narration and absent in another.
