Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 27:124

Abu Usama narrated to us, from Sa’id, from Qatada, who said: When the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would recite: "And [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah," he would say: "I was begun with in goodness, and I was the last of them in being sent."
