3619. Al-Muṭṭalib bin ‘Abdullāh bin Qais bin Makhramah narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that he said: “I and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, were born in the Year of the Elephant” – he said: “And ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān asked Qubāth bin Ashyam, the brother of Banū Ya‘mar bin Laith – ‘Are you greater (in age), or the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?’” He said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is greater than me, but I have an earlier birthday.” He said: “And I saw the defecation of the birds turning green.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb. We do not know if it except through the narration of Muḥammad bin Ishāq.

Arabic text

٣٦١٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ‌الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌جَدِّهِ قَالَ: «وُلِدْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْفِيلِ،» وَسَأَلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، ‌قَبَاثَ بْنَ أَشْيَمَ أَخَا بَنِي يَعْمَرَ بْنِ لَيْثٍ : أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ أَمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي، وَأَنَا أَقْدَمُ مِنْهُ فِي الْمِيلَادِ، قَالَ: وَرَأَيْتُ خَذْقَ الْفِيلِ أَخْضَرَ مُحِيلًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ.
