question #3 Sahih Muslim 251b, Book 2, Hadith 55 : What role do different chains of transmitters play in the variations of hadith narrations?

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of `Ali b. `Abd al-Rahman with the same chain of transmitters and there is no mention of the word of al-Ribat in the hadith transmitted by Shu`ba and in the hadith narrated by Malik “Ribat” has been mentioned twice. This is the “Ribat” for you, this is the “Ribat” for you.
