أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مَسْرُورًا فَقَالَ " يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَرَىْ أَنَّ مُجَزِّزًا الْمُدْلِجِيَّ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ وَعِنْدِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَرَأَى أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَزَيْدًا وَعَلَيْهِمَا قَطِيفَةٌ وَقَدْ غَطَّيَا رُءُوسَهُمَا وَبَدَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمَا فَقَالَ هَذِهِ أَقْدَامٌ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ " .
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us; he said: Sufyan informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: One day the Messenger of Allah came to me looking happy. He said, ‘Aishah, did you see how Mujazziz al-Mudliji came to me while Usamah ibn Zayd was with me? He saw Usamah ibn Zayd and Zayd beneath a velvet cloak. Their heads were covered, but their feet were visible. He said, “These feet are from one another.”’
Translation notes
The phrase ‘these feet are from one another’ is an idiom indicating that Zayd and Usamah appeared to share ancestry; the bodily image is retained.
