Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38575 — the first to do a thing, and who did

Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I first came to know the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when I was walking with Abu Jahl in Makkah and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met us. He said to Abu Jahl: O Abu al-Hakam! Come to Allah, come to the Messenger of Allah and come to the Book of Allah; I call you to Allah. He replied: O Muhammad! You do not desist from reviling our gods. If you want testimony that you have delivered the message, then we testify that you have delivered the message. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left, and Abu Jahl turned to me and said: By Allah! I know that what he says is the truth, but Banu Qusayy said: Among us is the keeping of the door of the Ka'bah. We said: Very well. Then they said: Among us is the hosting of the pilgrims. We said: Very well. Then they said: Among us is the meeting place of the chiefs. We said: Very well. They said: Among us is the honour of giving water to the pilgrims. We said: Very well. Then they fed and we fed as well, and when we came level with them, knee rubbing against knee, they say: Among us is a Prophet. By Allah, we will never accept him.
