Home Hadith Hadith 4184
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I was given the treasures of the earth and two gold
bangles were put in my hands, and I did not like that, but I received the inspiration that I should blow
on them, and I did so, and both of them vanished. I interpreted it as referring to the two liars between
whom I am present; the ruler of Sana and the Ruler of Yamaha."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 400

Musailima Al-Kadhdhab came during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started saying, "If Muhammad
gives me the rule after him, I will follow him." And he came to Medina with a great number of the
people of his tribe. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to him in the company of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas, and
at that time, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a stick of a date-palm tree in his hand. When he (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) )
stopped near Musailima while the latter was amidst his companions, he said to him, "If you ask me for
this piece (of stick), I will not give it to you, and Allah's Order you cannot avoid, (but you will be
destroyed), and if you turn your back from this religion, then Allah will destroy you. And I think you
are the same person who was shown to me in my dream, and this is Thabit bin Qais who will answer
your questions on my behalf." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went away from him. I asked about the statement of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : "You seem to be the same person who was shown to me in my dream," and Abu
Huraira informed me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two bangles
of gold on my hands and that worried me. And then I was inspired Divinely in the dream that I should
blow on them, so I blew on them and both the bangles flew away. And I interpreted it that two liars
(who would claim to be prophets) would appear after me. One of them has proved to be Al Ansi and
the other, Musailima."

We used to worship stones, and when we found a better stone than the first one, we would throw the
first one and take the latter, but if we could not get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil)
and then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform the Tawaf around it. When the month
of Rajab came, we used (to stop the military actions), calling this month the iron remover, for we used
to remove and throw away the iron parts of every spear and arrow in the month of Rajab. Abu Raja'
added: When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent with (Allah's) Message, I was a boy working as a shepherd of my
family camels. When we heard the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the fire, i.e. to
Musailima al-Kadhdhab.
