Musaylimah or
Musaylimah bin Ḥabīb was one of a series of people (including his future wife) who claimed
prophethood in 7th century Arabia, which is the time of Islamic prophet
Muhammad. He is considered by
Muslims to be a false prophet, and is always referred to as "the Liar" (
al-Kaḏḏāb). His followers were also very devout.
