Ibn Abbas reported that Musailima al-Kadhdhab (the greater liar) (who claimed prophethood after the death of the Prophet) came during the lifetime of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) to Medina and said: If Muhammad assigns his caliphate to me after him I would follow, and there came along with him a large body of persons of his tribe and there came to him Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) along with Thabit b. Qais b. Shammas and the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had a piece of wood in his hand until he came in front of Musailima in the company of his companions and said: If you were to ask even this (wood), I would never give it to you. I am not going to do anything against the will of God in your case, and if you turn away (from what I say) Allaah will destroy you. And I find you in the same state which I was shown (in the dream) and here is Thabit and he would answer you on my behalf. He (the Prophet) then went back. Ibn 'Abbas said: I asked the (meanings of the) words of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam):" You are the same what I was made to see about you in my dream." and Abu Huraira reported that Allaah's Messenger. (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: While I was sleeping I saw in my hands two gold bangles. This had a disturbing effect upon me and I was given a suggestion in the sleep that I should blow over them, so I blew over them and they were no more. And I interpreted these (two bangles) as the two great liars who would appear after me and the one amongst them was 'Anasi the inhabitant of San'a' and the other one Musailima the inhabitant of Yamama. |
