وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَمَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ . مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ آدَمَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - بَدَلَ التَّمْرِ - ثَمَرٍ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 979h
This narration records a hadith like the earlier report through the same chain of transmitters, but it notes one wording difference. Instead of the word dates, the word fruit is used. The core topic remains zakat nisab and the Sadaqa threshold, but this specific text is mainly about the wording variation. It does not give a separate new rule by itself in the translation provided. A careful reader should notice that the narration is linked to the hadith of Ibn Mahdi and Yahya b. Adam, with a change in one word. This is useful for people searching for hadith wording differences, zakat on fruit hadith, and Sahih Muslim 979h. The explanation should stay close to the text and avoid adding outside details.
