Hadith 249

e (without weapons), and the guards are surrounding his castle except this room’. They dug in the ground and Feyrouz Al-Daylami entered and wrestled him grabbing his head and killed him. He snorted the snorting of a bull. The guards came to the door and they said, ‘What is this (going on)? ’ (The wife) said, ‘The prophet, it is being revealed to him’. Then he died. And Satan-la used to come to him to whisper to him, so he would cover himself and work with what he-la said. When the dawn emerged, they called out with their slogans which was between them, then with the Azaan, and they said during it, ‘I testify that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and that Aheela is a liar and she launched a raid’. The companions of Rasool-Allah-saww returned to their work and wrote to Rasool-Allah-saww with the news, but the news of the sky had already preceded to him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww came out before his-saww expiry by a day or a night, and informed the people with that. He-saww said: ‘Al-Aswad has been killed last night. A Blessed man from the Blessed family has killed him’. It was said, ‘And who is he? ’ He-saww said: ‘Feyrouz Faz Feyrouz’’. And the letter arrived, and Rasool-Allah-saww had already passed away, to Abu Bakr, and it was from the first of his going out up to he was killed, around fourth months, and (as for) Feyrouz, it is said he as a son of a sister of Al-Najashy, and it is said he is from the sons of Persia (Persian). And as for Musaylama Bin Habeeb the liar – he used to be called ‘The Beneficent of Al-Yamama’, because he was saying, ‘The one who is coming to me his name is ‘The beneficent’. And he arrived to Rasool-Allah-saww among the ones who had become Muslims, then reneged when he returned to his city. And he had written to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘From Musaylama, Rasool of Allah-azwj to Muhammad-saww Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj. As for after, surely the earth is half for us and half for Quraysh, but Quraysh are a transgressing people’. And he sent the letter with two men. Rasool-Allah-saww said to them: ‘Are you two testifying that I-saww am Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj? ’ They said, ‘Yes’. He-saww said: ‘Are you testifying that Musaylama is a Rasool of Allah-azwj? ’ They said, ‘Yes, he is a partner with you-saww’. He-saww said: ‘Had you two not been messengers I-saww would have struck off your necks! ’ Then he-saww wrote to him: ‘From Muhammad-saww Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj to Musaylama the liar. As for after, Surely the earth is for Allah, He Causes it to be inherited by the one He so Desires to from His servants, and the end-result is for the pious [7: 128], and the people of Hijr (a tribe at Yamama) have been Destroyed. May Allah-azwj Distance you and the ones who approve (your claim) with you’’. And Musaylama claimed that he had participated with Muhammad-saww in the Prophet-hood. A woman came to him and she said, ‘Supplicate to Allah-azwj for our palm trees and our springs, for Muhammad-saww has supplicated for his-saww people and their wells filled up’. He said, ‘And how can I do so’. She said, ‘all for a large bucket and supplicate for them in it, then rinse and spit out into it, then pour into those wells’. He did is like that and those water holes dried up. And a man said, ‘Bless upon my son for Muhammad-saww blesses upon the children of his-saww companions’. They did not bring a child to him and he wiped his head except he went bald. And Musaylama washed in a garden and poured his water in it, and nothing grew; and regarding others he dropped the Salat from them and permitted the wine and the adultery and approximate to that. The clan of Haneefa united with him except for the few and he overcame upon the (tribe of) Hijr and expelled Samama Bin Asaal; and Samama wrote to Rasool-Allah-saww with his news, and he was a governor of Rasool-Allah-saww upon Al Yamama. When Rasool-Allah-saww passed away, Abu Bakr sent Khalid Bin Al-Waleed to Musaylama. When he reached Al-Yamama they fought; and the number of the clan of Haneef on that day was forty thousand fighters. One thousand two hundred from the Muslims were killed, and from the Polytheists around twenty thousand. And it was so that the clan of Haneefa, when they saw their abandonments, said to Musaylama, ‘Where is what you had promised us? ’ He said, ‘Fight for your affiliations’. And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Killed Musaylama, and there participated in his killing, the savage and Abu Dajjana. The savage was saying, ‘I killed the best of the people and the most evil of the people, Hamza-as and Musaylama’’. [86]
