Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 578b
This short narration says that a hadith like the previous one was narrated by Abu Salama on the authority of Abu Huraira. Because the wording points to the same report, the core topic remains sajdah tilawah at Surah Inshiqaq. The main message is that Abu Huraira's report about prostration connected to the verse When the heaven burst asunder was transmitted through another route. The hadith does not add fresh details, so we should not add extra claims. It simply strengthens the same basic teaching: a verse of sajdah was recited, prostration was made, and the action was linked to what the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم did.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the report from Abu Huraira.
- It points back to the same prostration connected with Surah Inshiqaq.
- The report does not add new details beyond the earlier narration.
- It helps preserve the teaching about sajdah tilawah through another chain.
