Musnad Ahmad 15462

Translation

We were told by a shaykh who ˹lived during˺ the jāhilī (pre-Islamic period ˹of ignorance˺, while we were in the battle of Rudis, known as Ibn ʿAbs. He said: I used to herd a cow for my family. I heard a clear voice coming from its belly: "O family of Dharīḥ, an eloquent speech, a man calling out that there is no god but Allah." He said, "So we arrived at Mecca and found the Prophet ﷺ had already come out ˹as a Prophet˺."
