This image is found in the Rawdat al-Safa of Mir Khwand, along with other incidents from the life of the Prophet. (Arnold, T.W.: Painting in Islam, New York, 1965, pl. xxi, p. 96)
A similar miniature of a scene at the Ka'ba, probably by the same hand, is in the collection of Tareq Rajab (Tareq Rajab Museum, Kuwait, 1994, p. 8.)
