Sahih Muslim 28b
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ " . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ " مِنْ أَىِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شَاءَ " .
Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Dawraqi narrated to me; Mubashshir ibn Isma'il narrated to us, from al-Awza'i, from Umayr ibn Hani, with this chain and a similar report, except that he said: ‘Allah will admit him into Paradise, whatever his deeds may be.’ He did not mention, ‘through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise He wills.’
Translation notes
أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ
This version states that admission to Paradise follows whatever deeds he had, while omitting the eight-gates wording in the other report; the precise relation between these variants is not resolved here.
Can a qualified reviewer assess how this variant should be contextualized alongside the other wording, without merging them?
