Vaisesika Sūtra 1.1.9

द्रव्यगुणयोः सजातीयारम्भकत्वं साधर्म्यम् ॥९॥

dravya-guṇayoḥ sajātīya-ārambhakatvaṁ sādharmyam ॥9॥

[द्रव्य-गुणयोः (dravya-guṇayoḥ) - of substance and quality; सजातीय-आरम्भकत्वम् (sajātīya-ārambhakatvam) - the property of originating things of the same kind; साधर्म्यम् (sādharmyam) - similarity;]

The similarity between substance and quality lies in their ability to originate entities of their own kind.

Substances and qualities, both having beginning in the same class, is pocessed with 'sadharma', i.e. common DHARMA, i.e. common properties.
