I have heard the following story from an Islamic Scholar. Hopefully,
it will be beneficial for all of us.
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 isthey could tell who the baby resembles. When Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) was still a baby, his
grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, took himto 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 ofProphet Ibrahim (AS). Only the
feet of young Prophet Muhammad (SAW) resemble them. The footprint of
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is preservedand placed beside Kabah.
