حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلاَّمٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَأَبُو سَلاَّمٍ الْحَبَشِيُّ اسْمُهُ مَمْطُورٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2864
This narration is an alternate chain with a similar meaning to the previous hadith in this batch. Its value is that it carries the same teaching through another route. The meaning points back to the commands mentioned there: worship Allah without partners, perform prayer with attention, fast, give charity, and remember Allah. It also carries the Prophet's command about listening and obeying, jihad, hijrah, and staying with the Jama'ah. Since this text says only that the chain is similar in meaning, the safest way to read it is as a supporting narration, not as a separate new story. The core topic remains obedience to Allah, worship, dhikr, and unity.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the same meaning as the longer report before it.
- It points to worship, prayer, fasting, charity, and remembrance as major commands.
- It keeps the focus on obedience and staying with the Jama'ah.
- The wording does not add a separate new event, so it should be read with care.
