Volume 4, Book 56, Number 817:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Musailama-al-Kadhdhab (i.e. the liar) came in the life-time of Allah’s Apostle with many of his
people (to Medina) and said, “If Muhammad makes me his successor, I will follow him.” Allah’s
Apostle went up to him with Thabit bin Qais bin Shams; and Allah’s Apostle was carrying a piece of a
date-palm leaf in his hand. He stood before Musailama (and his companions) and said, “If you asked
me even this piece (of a leaf), I would not give it to you. You cannot avoid the fate you are destined
to, by Allah. If you reject Islam, Allah will destroy you. I think that you are most probably the same
person whom I have seen in the dream.” Abu Huraira told me that Allah’s Apostle; said, “While I was
sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two gold bracelets round my arm, and that worried me too much. Then I
was instructed divinely in my dream, to blow them off and so I blew them off, and they flew away. I
interpreted the two bracelets as symbols of two liars who would appear after me. And so one of them
was Al-Ansi and the other was Musailama Al-Kadhdhab from Al-Yamama.”
