Musaylimah the Liar came to Medina during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and began saying, "If Muhammad grants me succession after him, I will follow him." He arrived with a large group of his people.The Prophet ﷺ approached him, accompanied by Thabit bin Qays bin Shammas, with a piece of palm branch in his hand, until he stood before Musaylimah among his companions.The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you were to ask me for this piece, I would not give it to you. I will not go beyond what Allah has decreed concerning you. If you turn away, Allah will surely destroy you. I truly believe you are the one shown to me in what I was shown. This is Thabit, who will answer you on my behalf."Then he turned away from him.Ibn Abbas said, I asked about the Prophet's ﷺ statement, "I truly believe you are the one shown to me in what I was shown."Abu Hurairah informed me that the Prophet ﷺ had said, "While I was sleeping, I saw on my arms two bracelets of gold, and they troubled me. It was revealed to me in the dream to blow on them, so I blew, and they flew away. I interpreted them as two liars who would emerge after me. One of them was al-Ansi, the master of Sanaa, and the other was Musaylimah, the master of al-Yamamah."
قدم مسيلمة الكذاب على عهد النبي ﷺ المدينة، فجعل يقول: إن جعل لي محمد الأمر من بعده تبعته، فقدمها في بشر كثير من قومه، فأقبل إليه النبي ﷺ ومعه ثابت بن قيس بن شماس، وفي يد النبي ﷺ القطعة جريدة، حتى وقف على مسيلمة في أصحابه، قال: لو سألتني هذه القطعة ما أعطيتكها، ولن أتعدى أمر الله فيك، ولئن أدبرت ليعقرنك الله، وإني لأراك الذي أريت فيك ما أريت، وهذا ثابت يجيبك عني، ثم انصرف عنه. فقال ابن عباس: فسألت عن قول النبي ﷺ: إنك أرى الذي أريت فيك ما أريت فأخبرني أبو هريرة، أن النبي ﷺ قال: بينا أنا نائم رأيت في يدي سوارين من ذهب، فأهمني شأنهما، فأوحي إلي في المنام أن انفخهما فطارا، فأولتهما كذابين يخرجان من بعدي فكان أحدهما العنسي، صاحب صنعاء، والآخر مسيلمة، صاحب اليمامة.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Military Expeditions (4373-4374) and Muslim in the Book of Dreams (2273-2274), both through the route of Abu Yaman, who said, Shuayb informed us, from Abdullah bin Abu Husayn, who said, Nafi bin Jubayr narrated to us, from Ibn Abbas, and he mentioned it.
