The Book of Commentary on the Qur'an - Sahih Muslim

Hadith Reference: Sahih Muslim 3032 c

This transmission, while maintaining the same essential meaning and authority through its chain of narration, exhibits minor linguistic variations that do not affect the core legal or theological implications of the text.

Such variations in wording are common in hadith transmission and are often attributed to differences in the reporters' memory, dialect, or manner of expression while preserving the fundamental meaning intact.

Scholars of hadith sciences consider these slight variations as evidence of the authenticity of the transmission process, as they demonstrate multiple independent chains of narration converging upon the same essential teaching from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
