Abraham using First Cause

Hello folks,

As I understand it, it was the view of Maimonides that Abraham used the First Cause argument, reasoning past the gods of fire, clouds, sky, the host of heaven, etc. in order to discover God. There’s a few accounts of this, and I’m wondering if there’s any historical evidence outside of the Talmud for it?

I’m writing up a research paper on the topic, and I haven’t turned up any historical sources, so it seems like there might not be. Thank you!
