It is narrated from Urwah bin al-Zubayr that the first apostasy among the Arabs (the trial of turning away from the religion) was that of Musaylimah bin Habib the Liar of al-Yamamah and al-Aswad bin Ka'b al-Ansi in Yemen, which took place during the blessed lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw (in a dream) two bracelets of gold on my arms; I blew on them and they both flew away. So I interpreted them as the Liar of al-Yamamah and the Liar of San'a'."
