Musaylimah the Liar arrived during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and began saying, "If Muhammad grants me authority after him, I will follow him." He had come accompanied by a large number of his people.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to meet 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.He said, "Even if you asked me for this piece, I would not give it to you. You cannot escape what Allah has decreed concerning you, and if you turn away, Allah will surely destroy you. I see in you the very man I was shown in my vision. This is Thabit, who will answer you on my behalf."Then he turned away from him.
حدثنا أبو اليمان أخبرنا شعيب عن عبد الله بن أبي حسين حدثنا نافع بن جبير
قدم مسيلمة الكذاب على عهد رسول الله ﷺ فجعل يقول إن جعل لي محمد الأمر من بعده تبعته وقدمها في بشر كثير من قومه فأقبل إليه رسول الله ﷺ ومعه ثابت بن قيس بن شماس وفي يد رسول الله ﷺ قطعة جريد حتى وقف على مسيلمة في أصحابه فقال لو سألتني هذه القطعة ما أعطيتكها ولن تعدو أمر الله فيك ولئن أدبرت ليعقرنك الله وإني لأراك الذي أريت فيه ما رأيت وهذا ثابت يجيبك عني ثم انصرف عنه
