Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 769c
This Hadith is brief, but it serves an important role for the Tahajjud dua. It says that Ibn Abbas narrated the Hadith through another chain of transmitters, and that the words are nearly the same as the earlier report. The focus is not on a new supplication or a new prayer action. It is about support for the same wording through another route of narration. For people searching for the Prophet's night prayer dua, this report reminds us not to stretch a short narration beyond what it says. It points back to the known dua of praise, truth, trust, repentance, and forgiveness, while adding that another chain carried wording close to it.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration supports the earlier Ibn Abbas report through another chain.
- It states that the wording is nearly the same.
- The Hadith does not introduce a new event or new ruling.
- It helps preserve the Prophet's night prayer dua with careful wording.
