2096. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "While the Prophet ﷺ was with his Companions a man from among the desert people came and said: 'Which of you is the son of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib?' They said: 'This Amghar man who is reclining on a pillow.' – (One of the narrators) Hamzah said: "Amghar means white with a reddish complexion.' – The man said: 'I am going to ask you questions and I will be harsh in asking.' He said: 'Ask whatever you like.' He said: 'I ask you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, and
the Lord of those who will come after you; has Allāh sent you?' He said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Him, has Allāh commanded you to offer five prayers each day and night?' He said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Him, has Allāh commanded you to take from the wealth of our rich and give it to our poor?' He said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allāh, has Allāh commanded you to fast this month out of the twelve months?' He said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Him, has Allāh commanded you to go on pilgrimage to this House, whoever can afford it?' He said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I believe, and I am Dimām bin Tha'labah.'" (Sahīh)

Commentary
Both these reports present the description of the previous Hadīth 2094. The purpose of the author in mentioning them is to bring out the conflict among the transmitters, which became apparent by looking closely at the chain of transmission. For instance, the third Hadīth is from Anas instead of Abū Hurairah, etc.
