The Prophet's dream of the two gold bracelets, interpreted as the two liars

Ibn Ishaq relates that two liars spoke in the time of the Prophet ﷺ: Musaylima ibn Habib in al-Yamama among the Banu Hanifa, and al-Aswad ibn Ka'b al-Ansi in Sana'a, and he relates the Prophet's dream about them. ¹

Ibn Ishaq relates from Yazid ibn Abd Allah ibn Qusayt, from Ata ibn Yasar or his brother Sulayman ibn Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that he heard the Prophet preaching to the people from his pulpit, saying: "O people, I saw the Night of Power and then it was made to be forgotten by me; and I saw two golden bracelets on my arm and I disliked them, and I blew on them and they flew off; I interpreted them as these two liars: the lord of Yemen and the lord of al-Yamama." ¹

Ibn Ishaq relates from one he does not doubt, from Abu Hurayra, that he heard the Prophet say: the Hour will not come until thirty impostors come out, all claiming to be prophets. ¹

• Doubt in the chain: "Ata ibn Yasar or his brother Sulayman ibn Yasar". ¹
• The dream is in the Sahihs in other wordings, as al-Mubarakfuri relates. ²
• "The two liars" is the wording of Ibn Ishaq and the tradition, not the museum's description. ¹
