Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33894 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Abu Bakr bin Abi Musa reported that Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Talib set out for Syria, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with him, along with some elders of Quraysh. When they came near the monk, they untied their saddles. The monk came to them, although before that when they passed by him he would neither come out to them nor pay them any attention. While they were untying their saddles, he came through their midst, took the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This is the chief of the worlds. This is the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds. Allah will send him as a mercy to all the worlds. The elders of Quraysh said to him: How do you know? He said: When you climbed up from the pass, there was no stone or tree that did not fall in prostration, and these things do not prostrate to anyone except a prophet.
