Sahih al-Bukhari 4183 (Book 64, Hadith 399)
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.”
قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّكَ أُرَى الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيهِ مَا أُرِيتُ ”. فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ” بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ فِي يَدَىَّ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَأَهَمَّنِي شَأْنُهُمَا، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِ انْفُخْهُمَا، فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا كَذَّابَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ بَعْدِي، أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَنْسِيُّ، وَالآخَرُ مُسَيْلِمَةُ ”.
