Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 450c
This hadith about jinn is short, but it teaches careful reading. It says that the report is narrated from Abdullah from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم up to the words, “the traces of the embers.” Then it makes clear that the narrator did not mention what followed afterward. That line is the key part of this narration. It does not give the later details, so the explanation should not force them into this specific report. For someone searching Sahih Muslim 450c, night of the Jinn hadith, or traces of embers in hadith, this narration shows that hadith texts can preserve partial wording with honesty. It also reminds readers that absence of a detail in one narration does not mean it should be invented in explanation.

- The narration stops at the words about the traces of embers.
- It clearly states that what followed was not mentioned.
