Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 693d
This narration reports the same travel prayer meaning from Anas, but it notes one difference: no mention is made of Pilgrimage. That detail matters because it keeps the reader from adding something to the text that this version does not say. The core topic remains qasr prayer during a journey. The related wording says the Messenger of Allah prayed two rak'ahs while travelling from Medina to Mecca until returning, and that the stay in Mecca was ten days in the fuller report. This version simply preserves the same meaning without the Hajj wording. A careful explanation should respect that difference and avoid mixing the versions as if they all use the same words.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version keeps the same travel-prayer report.
- It does not mention Pilgrimage.
- The narration shows that wording differences are preserved.
- The Hadith supports careful reading of each report as it is narrated.
