Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 684b
This Hadith entry explains a wording difference in the report from Qatada from Anas. It says the narration is reported, but this version does not mention the phrase: there is no expiation for it except this. The core topic is missed prayer Hadith wording and careful transmission. The meaning still points to the nearby teaching about praying a forgotten prayer when it is remembered, but this specific entry is mainly about what is not included in this route. For readers searching Sahih Muslim 684b, forgotten prayer narration, or Hadith wording variant, this report shows how narrators preserved exact wording and noted omissions clearly.
