The eleventh year after the Migration
The delegation of al-Nakha’, which is a tribe from Yemen, was the last delegation to arrive [in Medina]; they were two hundred men who came as Muslims. There was a man amongst them called Zurārah ibn ‘Amr, who saw a strange dream, which he related to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and so he interpreted it for him, and it later occurred as he said.
He ﷺ ordered for the preparation of an army to go to Shām and appointed Usamah ibn Zayd as its commander; they, however, deferred setting off because of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and so they did not leave. When the Messenger ﷺ passed away Abu Bakr did not busy himself with anything after the caliphate had been established other than preparing Usāmah’s army. When some people approached him to reconsider sending the army until people’s affairs were running smoothly or someone other than Usamah could be put in charge over them [because he was so young], he replied, ‘By Allah, I will not return an army that the Messenger of Allah dispatched or dismiss anyone whom he albia entrusted as commander: iyyah.wordpress.com The Chosen One ﷺ passed away; details of it have already been mentioned in [the section] on his states.
In the beginning of this year, Sagāḥ bint al-Ḥārith al-Tamim- iyyah appeared, claiming Prophethood, and many people from her clan followed her. She wanted her forces to launch an attack against Abu Bakr, the caliph of the Muslims, in Medina; however, her people advised her to first launch an attack against Musaylimah the Impostor, so she left together with whoever was with her, intending al-Yamamah [Musaylimah’s place of residence]. Musaylimah heard of that and therefore tricked her: he sent her a gift and eventually ended up marrying her. Thereafter, when Musaylimah was killed, she travelled to her maternal relatives, Taghlib, and accepted Islam and adhered faithfully to it. She later moved to Basra and died there.
Abu Bakr sent Khālid ibn al-Walid to fight Ṭulayḥah ibn Khuwaylid al-Asadi, who had claimed Prophethood before the passing away of the Prophet ﷺ and claimed that Jibril comes to him. He had previously accepted Islam, but later apostatised during the Prophet’s ﷺ life. He was a soothsayer, who then claimed Prophethood. When the Prophet passed away, his [Tulayḥah] affair got out of control, with Ghaṭafān and Hawāzin joining him; ‘Uyaynah ibn Hisn al-Fazārī also apostatised and joined forces with Ṭulayḥah. Khālid [ibn al-Walīd] fought them all in a great battle in which they were all defeated and ‘Uyaynah ibn Hiṣn was taken as a prisoner. They sent him to Abu Bakr in Medina, and so he accepted Islam and it was accepted from him.
As for Tulayhah, when his people were defeated, he fled to Shām and remained therein until Abu Bakr passed away; he then accepted Islam and remained faithful to it and met ‘Umar ibn al- Khaṭṭāb and swore allegiance to him. Thereafter, Țulayḥah made positive contributions during the battles with the Persians; he was one of the bravest warriors. He was martyred in Nahāwand in the
year eighteen [after Hegira]. 1-Walid was commanded by Abū Also in this year, Khālid ibn al-Walīd Bakr to fight Musaylimah the Impostor. The Muslims encountered indescribable difficulty and fatigue in this battle; then, Allah sent His help to them and supported them, and so Waḥshi killed Musaylimah the Impostor. Waḥshi would thereafter say, ‘I killed the best of men¹49 in [my] Jahiliyyah and the worst person in Islam [i.e. after accepting it].’ The Muslims won a clear victory, and Allah ordained for them glory, fame, honour and supremacy; and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
