Waraqa's word

Shaking, he comes home from Hira. Khadijah comforts him and takes him to her cousin Waraqa, an old Christian scholar, who says this is the angel that came to Musa.

Borders come from Cliopatria, the open map of the Seshat Global History Databank (CC BY 4.0), and are approximate. Dates before 1000 BCE are estimates, and for the earliest prophets the Quran gives the order of events but not their years. Sources: the Quran, Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Seerah of Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Kathir's al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, and standard histories.
