عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَتَوْا كَاهِنَةً فَقَالُوا لَهَا: أَخْبِرِينَا بِأَقْرَبِنَا شَبَهًا بِصَاحِبِ هَذَا الْمَقَامِ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنْ أَنْتُمْ جَرَرْتُمْ كِسَاءً عَلَى هَذِهِ السَّهْلَةِ ثُمَّ مَشَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهَا أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ فَجَرُّوا ثُمَّ مَشَى النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ أَثَرَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا أَقْرَبُكُمْ شَبَهًا بِهِ، فَمَكَثُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ بُعِثَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Quraysh went to a soothsayer woman and said: Tell us who among us is most deserving and worthy of the station of Prophethood? She said: If you spread a sheet over this soft ground and walk over it, I will tell you. They spread the sheet, then the people walked over it, and she saw the traces and signs of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: He is the most deserving of the station of Prophethood among you. Not even twenty years, or close to that, had passed after this incident when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was appointed as a Prophet.
