Mukhtasar Bukhari

`Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates:` Musaylimah the Liar came during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said that if Muhammad (peace be upon him) appoints him as his successor after him, he will obey him. And he had brought most of his people (Banu Hanifah) along with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went to him accompanied by the orator of the Ansar, Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas (may Allah be pleased with him), and at that time the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace be upon him) held a branch of a date-palm. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood by Musaylimah the Liar and his companions and said: "Even if you ask me for this twig, I will not give it to you, and whatever Allah has decreed for you, you cannot escape it. And if you turn away from me, Allah will destroy you. And I see you are the one whose condition was described to me in a dream, and this is Thabit bin Qais who will answer you on my behalf." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that I inquired about the meaning of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) statement: "You are the one whose condition was described to me in a dream." So Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to say: "Once, while I was asleep, I saw in a dream two bangles in my hands. I became worried about them. Then, in the dream, I was divinely inspired to blow on them, so I blew on them and they flew away. I interpreted this as meaning that two liars would claim prophethood after me, one being Aswad Ansi and the other Musaylimah."

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent some horsemen towards Najd, and they brought back a man from the tribe of Banu Hanifa, whose name was Thumama bin Uthal, and they tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to him and said, "O Thumama! What do you think (that I will do with you)?" He replied, "O Muhammad! My opinion is good. If you kill me, there is no blame, for I have killed Muslims in battle. If you show kindness and set me free, I will be grateful to you. And if you want wealth, then ask whatever you wish." Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) left. The next day, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) again asked, "O Thumama! What do you think?" He replied, "My opinion is the same as I have already said: if you show kindness and set me free, I will be grateful to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) left him tied as he was. On the third day, he asked, "O Thumama! What do you think?" He replied, "The same as I have already said." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Set Thumama free." The people complied and released him. Thumama went to a pond near the mosque, performed ghusl (ritual bath), came into the mosque, and said, "I bear witness that there is no true god except Allah, and indeed Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. O Muhammad! By Allah, there was no face on the entire earth more hateful to me than yours, but today your face is the most beloved to me. By Allah, there was no religion more hateful to me than yours, but now your religion is the most beloved to me. By Allah, there was no city more hateful to me than yours, but now your city is the most beloved to me. Your horsemen captured me while I was going for Umrah. Now, what do you command?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) congratulated him and instructed him to perform Umrah. When he reached Mecca, someone said to him, "Have you become irreligious?" He replied, "No, by Allah! Rather, I have become a Muslim with Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). And by Allah! Not a single grain of wheat will come to you from Yamamah until the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) permits it."

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I was sleeping when the treasures of the earth were brought to me, and two gold bangles were placed in my hands. I disliked this, so it was revealed to me that I should blow on them. When I blew on them, they both flew away. I interpreted this as referring to two liars between whom I am, both of them being the one from Sana'a (i.e., Aswad Ansi) and the one from Yamama (Musaylimah the liar)."
