Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 462b
This hadith about the last heard recitation in Maghrib is linked to the same report of Umm al-Fadl and Surah Al-Mursalat. The narration says it comes through Zuhri with the same chain, and adds that after this, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) did not lead prayer until Allah took him. The main point in the text is still the recitation in the evening prayer, with the added note about what happened after it. It should not be turned into a broad story beyond what is stated here. For readers searching for the last surah heard from the Prophet in prayer, this narration is closely tied to Surah Al-Mursalat and Maghrib prayer.
