Sunan Abi Dawud 2267 (Book 13, Hadith 93) #22558
The Surprising Revelation of Two Feet

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) entering Aisha's room and being surprised to see Zayd and Usamah with a rug over their heads, but their feet were visible. It was then revealed that Usamah was black and Zayd was white.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah entered upon me. The version of Musaddad and Ibn as-Sarh has: one day looking pleased". The version of Uthman has: "The lines of his forehead were realized". He said: O Aisha, are you not surprised to hear that Mujazziz al-Mudlaji saw that Zayd and Usamah had a rug over them concerning their heads and letting their feet appear. He said: These feet are related. Abu Dawud: Usamah was black and Zaid was white.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، - الْمَعْنَى - وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ يَوْمًا مَسْرُورًا وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ يُعْرَفُ أَسَارِيرُ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَىْ عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَرَىْ أَنَّ مُجَزِّزًا الْمُدْلِجِيَّ رَأَى زَيْدًا وَأُسَامَةَ قَدْ غَطَّيَا رُءُوسَهُمَا بِقَطِيفَةٍ وَبَدَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الأَقْدَامَ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَانَ أُسَامَةُ أَسْوَدَ وَكَانَ زَيْدٌ أَبْيَضَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the time when the Prophet Muhammad entered into Aisha's room looking pleased. He noticed that there was a rug covering both Zayd and Usama's heads but their feet were visible. Upon further inspection it became clear that one of them had white feet while the other had black feet. This revelation surprised everyone in the room as it showed how close they were despite having different skin colors which would have been seen as a barrier in those times. The main idea behind this hadith is to show us how we should not judge people based on their skin color or any other physical features because at the end of day we are all equal in front of Allah SWT regardless of our differences. We should also strive to be closer to each other like these two men who shared such an intimate moment despite being from different backgrounds and having different skin colors.
