Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 504c
This narration is a shorter version of the Ibn Abbas report. It says that Ibn Uyaina narrated it from al-Zuhri with the same chain, and in this wording the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was leading prayer at Arafah. The core topic is still the prayer row and the reported event of joining the congregation, but this version highlights the location as Arafah. Since the wording here is brief, the explanation should not add details beyond the wider report unless clearly tied to the same narration group. The safe takeaway is that the transmitters preserved a version that places the prayer at Arafah while keeping the same chain of narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version identifies the prayer location as Arafah.
- It is linked to the same chain as the Ibn Abbas report.
- The narration shows how different wordings preserved specific details.
