Don't make distinction amongst the Apostles. This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters also.
Commentary on "The Book of Virtues" from Sahih Muslim
Hadith Reference: Sahih Muslim 2374 b
The command to not make distinctions among the Apostles represents a fundamental principle of Islamic creed. Scholars explain this prohibition refers to rejecting any differentiation in their essential prophethood and truthfulness, though distinctions in rank and specific virtues are acknowledged as established in other authentic texts. This hadith emphasizes the obligation to believe in all prophets equally without denying any, while recognizing that some messengers possess superior status by divine designation.
The transmission through multiple chains (turuq) strengthens the authenticity and demonstrates the care with which the Companions preserved this teaching. Classical commentators note this principle protects against the errors of previous communities who accepted some prophets while rejecting others, ensuring the integrity of Islamic belief in divine revelation across all epochs of human guidance.
