Musaylima (Full name: Muslima ibn Habib al-Hanafi) (Arabic: مُسَيْلِمَةُ)[a], d.632, was a claimant of prophethood[3][4][5] from the Banu Hanifa tribe.[6][7] Based from Diriyah in present day Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he claimed to be a prophet and was an enemy of Islam in 7th-century Arabia. He was a leader of the enemies of Islam during the Ridda wars.[8] He is considered by Muslims to be a false prophet (نبي كاذب).[9] He is commonly called Musaylima al-Kadhāb (مسيلمة الكذاب, 'Musaylima the Arch-Liar') by Muslims.[10] Musaylima was said to have composed in saj', a type of rhymed prose that was common in pre-Islamic artistic speech.[11]
