Musnad Ahmad 22134

Translation

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on one of his journeys, he heard a caller saying: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." He said: "He is upon the natural disposition." Then he said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." He said: "He has testified to the testimony of truth." He said: "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." He said: "He has come out of the Fire. Look and you will find him either a shepherd keeping his flock away or a man with hunting dogs." They looked and found him a shepherd. The time for prayer came and he called it.
