Person
Musaylima
Musaylima was a seventh-century Arabian leader of the Banu Hanifa who claimed prophethood and led one of the main challenges to Medinan authority after the death of Muhammad. He was killed at the Battle of Yamama during the Ridda Wars of 632–633 CE. His defeat helped the Rashidun Caliphate under Abu Bakr reunify Arabia before the great conquests.
