Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 580d
This narration is brief, but it matters because it reports the same hadith through another chain of transmitters. The text says that Ibn Abi Umar narrated from Sufyan, from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam, from Ali ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Muawi, and then mentions something similar to the hadith of Malik. In the related wording, the subject is the Prophet’s sitting posture in prayer and the correction of playing with pebbles during salah. This version does not give a new separate action in the translation, so the explanation should stay limited. Its value here is that it supports the report about prayer focus and the tashahhud hand position through another route of narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports a previously mentioned report through another chain.
- It is linked to the same topic of tashahhud posture in prayer.
- The report keeps attention on following the Prophet’s way in salah.
- It does not introduce a separate new ruling in the provided translation.
