"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: The first thing I learned from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when I came to Makkah with some of my paternal uncles, was that they directed us to al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib. We arrived at him while he was sitting by Zamzam, and we sat with him. While we were with him, a man came from the Safa Gate, white, with some redness, with thick curly hair reaching to the middle of his ears, aquiline-nosed, with bright front teeth, large-eyed, with thick beard, fine hair-line, (shayn) () the palms and feet, wearing two white garments, as if he were the moon on the night of the full moon. On his right walked a young boy, beardless, handsome of face, approaching puberty or having reached it, and behind him a woman who had covered her charms. He went toward the Black Stone, touched it, then the boy touched it, then the woman touched it. Then he circumambulated the House seven times, and the boy and the woman circumambulated with him. We said: O Abu al-Fadl, this religion we did not know among you, or is it something new? He said: This is my nephew Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah, the boy is 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and the woman is his wife Khadijah. On the face of the earth, there is no one we know who worships Allah with this religion except these three."
