What is Imam Muslim's stance on narrating with the meaning, and what is its reason?

Imam Muslim, in his "Sahih," was keen on meticulously verifying the wording of the hadith and gathering its various narrations and chains of transmission in one place, which facilitates study for the researcher. He was aided in this by compiling the book while residing in his homeland, unlike al-Bukhari, who held the view that narrating by meaning and segmenting the hadith was permissible, and who compiled his book during his travels, relying on juristic deduction by segmenting the texts. Al-Nawawi mentions that Muslim was unique in the ease of accessibility due to his gathering of the different chains and wordings of the hadith in one place.
