It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the name of the horse of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was "al-Murtajiz"; the name of his (peace and blessings be upon him) she-camel was "al-Fasawa", of his mule "Duldul", of his donkey "Ufayr", of his coat of mail "al-Fudul", and the name of his (peace and blessings be upon him) sword was "Dhu al-Faqar".

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Maysarah al-Fajr (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, when were you made a Prophet? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was a Prophet even when Adam (peace be upon him) was still in the stage between the soul and the body." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, and it is supported by the hadith of al-Awza'i, which is as follows:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: When was prophethood established for you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the interval between the creation of Adam (peace be upon him) and the breathing of the soul into him."
