Abu Muslim Kholani is a famous Taabai from Yemen. Muselema Kazzab, the biggest
liar and false claimant of prophet hood, arrested him and made him stand in
front of him tied in chains. Following conversation took place between them.
Muselema: Do you depose (testify) that I am prophet of Allah?
Abu Muslim: I do not listen.
Muselema: Do you depose (testify) that Muhammad is prophet of Allah?
Abu Muslim: No doubt. Of course! He is.
The above question/answer held thrice between the two. Resultantly Muselema, the
biggest liar, fed up and fell into rage. He ordered to collect a huge help of
dry woods, put it on fire, and throw Abu Muslim in that. His order carried upon
at once. The Omnipotent Allah utilized has divine power and displayed the
Ibraheemi miracle to the people once again. The blazing fire did not harm Abu
Muslim at all. Abu Muslim came out of fire safe and sound. The followers of
Muselema Kazzab became ambiguous and doubtful about his claim of prophet ship.
Observing the situation, Muselema thought it appropriate that Abu Muslim leaves
Yemen. Therefore, he offered him escape-leaving Yemen. Abu Muslim accepted it
and took his way to Medina leaving Yemen. On reaching Medina, he went to
Masjid-e-Nabvi and got busy in offering prayers behind a pillar. Hazrat Omer saw
him. When he disengaged himself from prayer, Omer asked him, “From where have
you come”? He replied, “From Yemen. Everybody in the country had known the above
stated incident. Hazrat Omer had also heard it and eager to know the reality. He
asked Abu Muslim about the incident. Therefore, Abu Muslim Kholani narrated the
whole incident to Omer.
