Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ مَسْرُورًا تَبْرُقُ أَسَارِيرُ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلَمْ تَرَىْ أَنَّ مُجَزِّزًا نَظَرَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَأُسَامَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ هَذِهِ الأَقْدَامِ لَمِنْ بَعْضٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah informed us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah, from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah came to me looking happy, the lines of his face shining, and said, ‘Did you see how Mujazziz looked at Zayd ibn Harithah and Usamah and said, “These feet are surely from one another”?’

Translation notes
  • The saying about the feet is an idiom indicating that the two men appeared to share ancestry; the translation preserves its bodily image.
