Commentary
A great number of people made false claims of prophethood after the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Musailimah the Liar and Aswad 'Ansi came out with such false claims during the Prophet's ﷺ own lifetime. Then the Tulaiyah bin Khuwailid Asādī and Sajāh bint Al-Hārīth Tamimiyyah made similar claims during the caliphate of Abū Bakr ؓ, but they both ultimately died on Islam. In the past century the name of Mirza Gulām Ahmad of Qādiyān also figures in this infamous list of impostors.
