The amazing feet
When
a child is born, he or she usually gets some characteristics and
features from his or her parents or from other family members from the
past. For example, our eyes, ears, nose or some other organs of the
body may resemble that of our parents or forefathers. There was a group
of people in Arabia who had the knowledge of this particular science,
that is they could tell who the baby resembles. When Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessing be upon him) was still a baby, his grandfather,
Abdul Muttalib, took him to his lap and was greeting those who came for
Pilgrimage (Hajj). That specific group of people was also present and
while going around the Kabah they would stare at the feet of young
Prophet Muhammad (SAW). After going around few times, they came to
Abdul Muttalib and said that they have never seen any other baby whose
feet resemble the feet of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Only the feet of young
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) resemble them. The footprint of Prophet Ibrahim
(AS) is preserved and placed beside Kabah.
