(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ 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 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 وَسَلَّمَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the people of Quraysh went to a soothsayer woman and said, "Tell us, among us, who most closely resembles the one associated with Maqam Ibrahim?" She said, "Spread a sheet on this ground and walk over it, then I will tell you." So they spread a sheet and walked over it. The soothsayer woman carefully observed the footprints of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "He among you most closely resembles Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." After this incident, twenty years or nearly twenty years passed, and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as a Messenger.
