==== ANSWER: ====
His name is TAB'A AWWAL HAMIRI.
He was the King of Yemen.
The king gave a letter to his main priest with the following instruction,
“Give this to the Prophet if you see him in your lifetime. If not, keep it in your family until he arrives.”
This letter passed from generation to generation in the priest’s family (for 1,000 years) until it finally came into the hands of the famous Companion, Hadrat Abu Ayyub al-Ansaari Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu (who requested his servant, Abu Layla, to safeguard it). Written in it was the following:
"From the most insignificant creation, Tabaa Awwal Hamīri, to the Intercessor of Sinners & Leader of Prophets (Peac be Upon Them) Muhammadur-Rasoolullah (Peace & Blessings be Upon Him) O Beloved of Allah (Peace & Blessings be Upon Him) I bring faith upon you, the book which will be revealed to you, and the religion that you will propagate. Should I see you in my lifetime, it would only be my good fortune. Otherwise, I ask that you intercede for me and do not forsake me. I’m from your first Ummah and also pledge allegiance (بيعة) to you. I hereby testify that Allah is One and that you are his true Messenger (Peace & Blessings be Upon Him)."
Long Story Shortened, The Holy Prophet (Peace & Blessings be Upon Him) was presented with the letter; and after reading it, he said in reply:
“I congratulate the virtuous brother Tabaa."
