Sunan Ibn Majah 2652 (Book 21, Hadith 38) #32006
Equality of Fingers

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was teaching that the pinky finger, ring finger and thumb are all the same.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet said: "This and this are the same" - meaning the pinky finger, ring finger and thumb.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ سَوَاءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي الْخِنْصَرَ وَالإِبْهَامَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat everyone with respect and equality regardless of their differences or abilities.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how all fingers are equal. The Prophet Muhammad was teaching his followers that no one finger is more important than another. He used the example of the pinky finger, ring finger and thumb to illustrate this point. All three fingers have their own unique purpose but they are all equally important in their own way. This hadith teaches us to treat everyone with respect and equality regardless of their differences or abilities. We should not judge people based on what they look like or what they can do because everyone has something valuable to offer in life.
