حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا 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 was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that Quraish went to a female soothsayer and said: Tell us who among us most resembles the man of this maqmn (station - i.e., Ibraheem). She said: If you spread a cloak over this plain then walk on it, I will tell you. So they spread out a cloak and the people walked on it. She saw the footsteps of Muhammad (PBUH) and said: This is the one among you who most closely resembles him. After that, twenty years, or nearly twenty years, or as long as Allah willed, passed, then he was sent as a Prophet (PBUH).
