3765. Al-Barā' bin 'Azib narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said to Ja'far bin Abī Tālib: "You share similarity with me in appearance and in character." (Ṣaḥīḥ) And there is a story concerning this Hadīth. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. [Sufyān bin Waki' narrated to us (saying): "My father narrated to us from Isrā'il", similarly.]
٣٧٦٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ»: أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Ja'far resembled the Prophet (ﷺ) in form and figure as well as in character and manners. The background to this event is that on the occasion of Umrah Al-Qadā', the daughter of Hamzah came after him taking him as her 'Uncle'. 'Ali caught her and handed her over to Fāṭimah. Later on the matter of the possession of the girl rose among 'Ali, Ja'far and Zaid. 'Ali claimed that she will stay in his house as he took her possession first and she was the daughter of his uncle. Ja'far also claimed that she was the daughter of his uncle and his wife was her mother's sister (Khālah). Zaid said that she was his brother's daughter and his claim was genuine. The Prophet (ﷺ) decided in favor of Ja'far and said that the Khālah is like the mother.
