Musaylima

Musaylima (Arabic: مسيلمة, full name Muslima ibn Habib al-Hanafi; died 632) was a claimant of prophethood from the Banu Hanifa tribe. Based from Diriyah in present-day Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he claimed to be a prophet. He was a leader of the tribal rebellion during the Ridda wars. He is commonly called Musaylima al-Kadhab (مسيلمة الكذاب, 'Musaylima the Arch-Liar') by Muslims. Musaylima was said to have composed in saj', a type of rhymed prose that was common in pre-Islamic artistic speech.

Musaylima's career has been compared with a larger trend of pre-Islamic Arabian Prophet claimants of the sixth and seventh centuries among others like Khalid ibn Sinan, Al-Aswad al-Ansi, Ibn Sayyad, and Sajah bint al-Harith.
