And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Once I was sleeping when the treasures of the earth were presented to me, and two gold bangles were placed in my hands. They weighed heavily upon me and caused me great distress, then it was revealed to me that I should blow on them, so I blew and they (both) flew away. I interpreted this dream to mean that I am between two liars, one from Sana'a and the other from Yamamah."

Hadith Commentary:
Bangles and similar types of jewelry are suitable for women. If a man sees himself wearing such jewelry in a dream, its interpretation is that some calamity is about to befall him, and he will face circumstances that are extremely distressing—that is, the interpretation of such a dream is anxiety and distress. Sana'a is the capital of Yemen.
There, Aswad Ansi was born, and he claimed prophethood. He was killed during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), the details of which will be mentioned later, by the permission of Allah the Exalted.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam seeing in a dream that he was wearing two gold bangles, while this is an ornament for women, was an indication that two false claimants would make a claim to something to which they had no right, that is, the claim of prophethood. The fact that they flew away when he blew on them was an indication that, in the face of his actions, their words would have no weight; they would be as nothing. And they would be eliminated.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is prohibited for men to wear gold jewelry; therefore, the gold bangles seen on the hands of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) must refer to some unpleasant incident or person.
And by blowing on them is meant confronting them and defeating them.
➋
Aswad al-Ansi falsely claimed prophethood in the city of Sana'a in Yemen.
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) entered his house and killed him.
Musaylimah the Liar also falsely claimed prophethood in the city of Sana'a in Yemen.
Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) launched a military campaign against him and he was killed.
He was killed by Wahshi (radi Allahu anhu), who, before accepting Islam, had martyred the Chief of Martyrs, Hamzah (radi Allahu anhu), in the Battle of Uhud.
