Hadith 4379
اُردوEn
قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ ، أُرِيتُ أَنَّهُ وُضِعَ فِي يَدَيَّ سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَفُظِعْتُهُمَا وَكَرِهْتُهُمَا ، فَأُذِنَ لِي فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا ، فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا كَذَّابَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ " ، فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَنْسِيُّ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ فَيْرُوزُ بِالْيَمَنِ ، وَالْآخَرُ مُسَيْلِمَةُ الْكَذَّابُ.
The Prophet then went away. I asked Ibn `Abbas about the dream Allah's Apostle had mentioned. Ibn `Abbas said, "Someone told me that the Prophet said, "When I was sleeping, I saw in a dream that two gold bangles were put in my hands, and that frightened me and made me dislike them. Then I was allowed to blow on them, and when I blew at them, both of them flew. Then I interpreted them as two liars who would appear.' One of them was Al-`Ansi who was killed by Fairuz in Yemen and the other was Musailima Al-Kadhdbab."

Hadith Commentary:
The name of Musaylimah the Liar’s wife was Kaysah bint Harith bin Kurayz.
After Musaylimah was killed, Abdullah bin Amir married her.
From her womb was born Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Amir.
The narrator, by mistake, omitted one occurrence of the name Abdullah, but we have added it in the translation.
In some manuscripts, it is stated that she was the mother of the children of Abdullah bin Amir.
Musaylimah the Liar was killed by Wahshi (radi Allahu anhu), and Aswad al-Ansi was killed in Yemen by Fayruz.
The news of Aswad’s killing was revealed to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) by revelation one day and night before his passing, and he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) conveyed it to his Companions (radi Allahu anhum).
Later, this news reached during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) through the people of Aswad.
Aswad appeared in Sana’a and, claiming prophethood, overcame the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) governor, Muhajir bin Umayyah.
Some have said that Bazan was the governor there on behalf of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), so Aswad married Bazan’s wife by force and became the ruler of Yemen.
Eventually, Fayruz, one night, dug a hole and entered his house.
There were a thousand guards stationed at the door.
Therefore, a hole was dug.
Finally, Fayruz cut off his head and brought out Bazan’s wife along with her wealth and belongings.
That very night, Bazan’s wife had made him drink a lot of wine, and he was intoxicated and senseless.
Allah thus ended the tribulation of Aswad al-Ansi:
﴿فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ﴾ (al-An’am: 45)
This refers to Thabit bin Qays al-Ansari (radi Allahu anhu), from the Khazraj tribe.
He participated in the Battle of Uhud and all subsequent battles.
He was among the great scholars of the Ansar.
He was the orator of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave him glad tidings of Paradise.
He was martyred in the Battle of Yamamah in the year 12 AH.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
The name of Musaylimah the Liar’s wife was Kaysah bint Harith bin Kariz. After Musaylimah was killed, Abdullah bin Amir (radi Allahu anhu) married her, and from her womb Abdullah bin Abdullah Amir was born. In this narration, the word “Abdullah” has been omitted by mistake.
During the caliphate of Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), Wahshi (radi Allahu anhu) killed Musaylimah the Liar, and Aswad Ansi was killed in Yemen by Fayruz. Aswad appeared in Sana’a and, claiming prophethood, overcame the governor appointed by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Muhajir bin Umayyah (radi Allahu anhu).
Fayruz, one night, dug a hole and entered his house while there were a thousand guards at his door. That night, Aswad’s wife had made him drink a lot of wine, due to which he was intoxicated. Fayruz said: “Aswad! Extend your hand, I want to pledge allegiance to you.” When he extended his hand, Fayruz reached forward, grabbed his neck, and killed him, then cut off his head.
The news of his killing was conveyed by revelation to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) one day before his passing, and he informed his noble companions (radi Allahu anhum) of it. After that, the news reached through other means during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu).
Aswad Ansi was a great trickster and used to show people strange and wondrous things. Those who listened to him became his devotees. He had a devil under his control who obeyed him and used to inform him about people. Aswad the accursed was led astray by the following incident: once, a donkey passed by him and fell on its face. He said: “It is prostrating to me.” And until he said “sha,” it did not get up; when he said “sha,” it stood up. The word “sha” is used to call a donkey.
This incident became the very first cause of his misguidance. Eventually, he claimed prophethood and, at the hands of Fayruz, met his fate in Hell.
