Khalid ibn Sinan al-'Absi

Al-Mas'udi relates from Ibn Abbas that he was a prophet of the Banu Abs in the interval between Jesus and Muhammad. ¹

He is said to have prayed against the phoenix (al-'anqa'), and God cut off its offspring. When death came to him he charged his people to bury him in a sand dune and guard his grave. They then watched it, and when the donkey he had described appeared, his children refused to exhume him, so that they would not be shamed by being the sons of the exhumed man. ¹

The same report says that his daughter came to the Prophet, who honoured her and said: "Welcome to the daughter of a prophet whom his people neglected." This is a report from al-Mas'udi alone, and it needs an additional source.
