Sahih Muslim 1459c (Book 17, Hadith 52) #10756
The Pleasure of Similarity

SUMMARY: A physiognomist visited and commented on the similarity of the feet of Usama b. Zaid and Zaid b. Haritha, which made Allah's Messenger pleased and happy.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: A physiognomist visited (our house) and Allah's Messenger was present, and Usama b. Zaid and Zaid b. Haritha were both lying asleep, and he (the physiognomist), said: These feet are related to one another. Allah's Apostle was pleased to hear this, and he was happy and informed 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) about it.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ قَائِفٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ شَاهِدٌ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ مُضْطَجِعَانِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الأَقْدَامَ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ ‏.‏ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ وَأَعْجَبَهُ وَأَخْبَرَ بِهِ عَائِشَةَ

This hadith is about a physiognomist who visited the house of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while he was present, along with Usama b. Zaid and Zaid b. Haritha who were both asleep at that time. The physiognomist noticed that their feet were similar to each other, which made Prophet Muhammad ﷺ very pleased and happy to hear this news. This hadith teaches us that we should appreciate similarities between people as it brings joy to others around us, especially when it is noticed by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself! We should also take note that even though we may not be able to see physical similarities between people, there are many other ways in which we can find commonalities between one another such as our values or beliefs - these are things worth celebrating too!
