4378. Narrated 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utba: We were informed that Musailima Al-Kadhdhāb had arrived in Al-Madīna and stayed in the house of the daughter of Al-Hārīth. The daughter of Al-Hārīth bin Kuraiz was his wife and she was the mother of 'Abdullāh bin 'Āmir. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to him accompanied by Ṭahīb bin Qais bin Shammās who was called the orator of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had a stick in his hand then. The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ said, "If you ask 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 Thābit bin Qais who will answer you on my behalf." The Prophet ﷺ then went away.

٤٣٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ نَشِيطٍ، وَكَانَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ: أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ: «بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَنَزَلَ فِي دَارِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كُرَيْزٍ، وَهِيَ أُمُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: خَطِيبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَفِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَضِيبٌ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَكَلَّمَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُسَيْلِمَةُ: إِنْ شِئْتَ خَلَّيْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْأَمْرِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْتَهُ لَنَا بَعْدَكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَوْ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذَا الْقَضِيبَ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهُ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرَاكَ الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيهِ مَا أُرِيتُ، وَهَذَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، وَسَيُجِيبُكَ عَنِّي، فَانْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ»
