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.
