Sahih Muslim : 503e
Sahih MuslimHadith Number 503e
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِالإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا مِثْلَهُ . وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَكَمِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ وَضُوئِهِ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 503e
This narration is a shorter linked report from Shu’ba through two chains. It says the same basic event was narrated, and in the wording of Hakam there is an added note: the people began taking from the water left after the Prophet’s ablution. The core topic here is ablution water and the Companions’ eagerness in that scene. The text does not give new details about the prayer posture or the spear in this specific wording. It only adds the point about people taking the leftover ablution water. A careful explanation should stay with that wording and avoid turning it into a broader discussion not found in the narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- People took from the water left after the Prophet’s ablution.
- The narration preserves a specific added wording from Hakam.
- The Companions paid close attention to moments around the Prophet.
