وَأَسْنَدَ نَافِعُ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا.
Translation: Nāfiʿ ibn Jubayr ibn Muṭʿim transmitted one Prophetic report through Abū Shurayḥ al-Khuzāʿī.

A well-recognized chain and an independently surviving record of every meeting are distinct categories of evidence. Muslim uses such cases to challenge their conflation.

Al-Nawawī identifies the report through Abū Shurayḥ al-Khuzāʿī with the hadith beginning «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ» concerning good treatment of one’s neighbor. Abū Shurayḥ is commonly identified as Khuwaylid ibn ʿAmr, with further naming variants recorded. Recognizing the kunya and the report’s topic grounds the example in an actual transmission.
