Narrated Al-Muttalib bin 'Abdullah bin Qais bin Makhramah:
from his father, from his grandfather, that he said:   I and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), were born in the Year of the Elephant   - he said:   And 'Uthman bin 'Affan asked Qubath bin Ashyam, the brother of Banu Ya'mar bin Laith - 'Are you greater (in age) or the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?'   He said:   The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is greater than me, but I have an earlier birthday.   He said:   And I saw the defecation of the birds turning green.
