Abu Raja' added: When the Prophet sent with (Allah's) Message, I was a boy working as a shepherd of my family camels. When we heard the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the fire, i.e. to Musailima al-Kadhdhab.

The daughter of Al-Harith bin Kuraiz was his wife and she was the mother of `Abdullah bin 'Amir. There came to him Allah's Apostle accompanied by Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas who was called the orator of Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle had a stick in his hand then. The Prophet stopped before Musailima and spoke to him. Musailima said to him, If you wish, we would not interfere between you and the rule, on condition that the rule will be ours after you... The Prophet said, If you asked me for this stick, I would not give it to you. I think you are the same person who was shown to me in a dream. And this is Thabit bin Al-Qais who will answer you on my behalf.

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.

Then both of them said (to the Prophet ), We will give what you should ask but you should send a trustworthy man with us, and do not send any person with us but an honest one. The Prophet said, I will send an honest man who Is really trustworthy. Then every one of the companions of Allah's Apostle wished to be that one. Then the Prophet said, Get up, O Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah. When he got up, Allah's Apostle said, This is the Trustworthy man of this (Muslim) nation.
