Azami 15942

Ibn Hibban (6650) narrated it from Hasan bin Sufyan, who said, Hasan bin Sabbah Bazzar told us, who said, Ismail bin Abdul-Kareem told us, who said, Ibrahim bin Aqeel bin Maqil informed me, from his father, from Wahb bin Munabbi, from Jabir bin Abdullah, and he related it. Its chain of transmission is hasan, for Hasan bin Sabbah, Ismail bin Abdul-Kareem, Ibrahim bin Aqeel, and his father are all hasan al-hadith. The hadith has other chains as well, with Ahmad (14718) and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (3375), though there is some criticism of them, and they strengthen one another.Among these thirty, it becomes clear who they were.1. The man of Yamamah, who was Musaylima the liar. He appeared in the time of the Prophet ﷺ and was killed during the caliphate of Abu Bakr .2. The man of Sanaa, who was Aswad Ansi. He appeared in Yemen and was killed before the Prophet's death ﷺ, killed by Fayruz Farsi. It is mentioned in the Sahihayn, as noted earlier in the book on dreams, "So I interpreted them as meaning that I was between the man of Sanaa and the man of Yamamah." As for what appears in other narrations in the Sahihayn and elsewhere, "Two will come forth after me," one of them was Ansi, the man of Sanaa, and the other was Musaylima the liar, the man of Yamamah. This is an insertion from the narrator's own words, for Ansi was in fact killed in the last part of the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, during his fatal illness. So the meaning of "after me" is "in the latter part of my life."3. As for the man of Himyar, I have not been able to identify him.4. Talha bin Khuwaylid appeared among Banu Assad bin Khuzayma. Talha later repented and died a Muslim during the caliphate of Umar bin Khattab .5. Mukhtar bin Abu Ubayd Thaqafi appeared at the beginning of the caliphate of Ibn Zubayr, and was killed.6. Harith the liar rose up during the caliphate of Abdul-Malik bin Marwan, and was killed.7. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani appeared in India and gained a following. The scholars of India from every group confronted him and issued rulings declaring him an unbeliever, outside the fold of Islam. They wrote valuable works refuting him. The distinguished scholar Thanaullah Amritsari challenged him to a mubahala unto death, meaning that whichever of the two liars was lying would die during the other's lifetime from the disease of cholera (a violent purging of the bowels accompanied by severe vomiting). The false prophet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad died in the year 1908 from that very disease, while the distinguished scholar Thanaullah Amritsari lived on for about forty more years, dying in 1948.In the year 1394-1395 AH, the Muslim World League called for a conference of Islamic organizations from around the world. This conference unanimously resolved that the Qadianis, in both of their factions, the Lahori and the Ahmadi, are unbelievers. A year later, the Pakistani parliament passed a similar resolution unanimously. Among the gravest acts committed by this misguided sect in the present age is their distortion of the Noble Quran, removing from it the words "and Seal of the Prophets" [Ahzab 33:40], and then translating it into European languages in that altered form.Among the women was Sajah bint Harith bin Suwayd Tamimi, who claimed prophethood during the days of Abu Bakr Siddiq . She married Musaylima the liar. It is said that she returned to Islam after Musaylima was killed, and that her Islam was sincere and good.These are the most well known of the liars and false claimants to prophethood who appeared during the Prophet's lifetime ﷺ and after his death.Here it is important to draw attention to the matter of applying hadiths about the signs of the Hour and similar matters to specific individuals or particular events from the reality we live in. One should not be hasty in doing this unless clear indications are available that support such an application, in which case there is no harm in it, as Asma bint Abu Bakr Siddiq did. This is recorded in Sahih Muslim (2545), where Asma said, addressing Hajjaj bin Yusuf Thaqafi, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us that among Thaqif there would be a liar and a destroyer. As for the liar, we have seen him," meaning Mukhtar Thaqafi, "and as for the destroyer, I think it is none other than you." He then got up and left without responding to her (this hadith's sourcing was covered earlier under the signs of prophethood that were fulfilled).As for going out of one's way to force such an application, this must be avoided, because something may later appear that contradicts it, which would then amount to a denial of a sahih hadith.
