– Ngicabanga ukuthi eminyakeni eyisithupha yokuqala yobuprofethi beNkosi yethu, abantu abangaba yikhulu kuphela abamkholwa. Kanjani-ke uMusaylima, umprofethi wamanga, akwazi ukuthola abalandeli abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane eminyakeni emibili nje?
– Lena yinombolo yempi yaseYamama.
Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Kunezindlela eziningana zokuphendula lolu daba.
1.
UMusaylima wafika eMadina ngonyaka weshumi weHijra, enabantu abayishumi nesikhombisa abavela esizweni sakhe, iBeni Hanifa. Wabonisana noMprofethi (ukuthula nokubusiswa kukaAllah kube phezu kwakhe) kanye nethimba lakhe, wabe esebeka umbandela wokuthi uzoba ngumMuslim uma enikwa ukhilafah, okungukuthi ubuholi babo bonke abakholwayo, ngemuva koMprofethi. UMprofethi wabe esemtshela…
“ngeke anikele ngisho ngenduku ayiphethe, ingasaphathwa eyokuba umkhalifa”
ubekile.
Ngakho, lapho ebuyela eYamama, izwe lakubo lesizwe sikaMüseyyime, wamemezela ukuthi ungumprofethi, waqala ukuthi kukhona izambulo ezithunyelwa kuye. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze akholwise abantu,
wayethambisa iqanda emvinini owawufakwe i-ammonia, walifaka ebhodleleni elinomlomo omncane, wayeseqala ukulibonisa abantu njengomsebenzi wemilingo.

Ngasekupheleni konyaka weshumi weHijra, wathumela incwadi kuMprofethi (ukuthula kube kuye) ezazisa ukuthi naye ungumprofethi. Encwadini yakhe, wayeveza ukuthi bobabili, uMprofethi (ukuthula kube kuye) naye, bangabaprofethi, futhi wayethi ingxenye yeArabia ngeyakwaKureysh, kanti enye ingxenye ngeyakwaBeni Hanifa.
Ngokwakhe,
AmaQuraysh
Wayemhlukumeza uBeni Hanife ngokwephula amalungelo abo, ethi i-Arabia yonke ingeyakhe.
Impendulo eyayibekwe nguMphrofethi (ukuthula kube kuye) kuye yayithi
“Umkhohlisi / Umphikristu”
wamubiza ngalelo gama, wabe esho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumnikazi wangempela walelo zwe nokuthi uzo lumnika noma ngubani amthandayo.
Njengoba kubonakala
UMuseylimetu’l-Kezzâb
Wayekwazi ukuzitholela abalandeli ngamaqhinga nangamasu ahlakaniphile.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, wenza izinguqulo ezingamanga zama-aya ngokulingisa amanye ama-aya.
UMusailima wayehlakaniphile, enekhono lokukhuluma, futhi enekhono lokuthonya abantu. Ngakho-ke, wathatha ezinye izindima zeQur’an njengezibonelo, wabe eseqamba izindima ezingamanga. Waqala ukuzifundela abantu bakhe, ngokusho ukuthi zivela kuNkulunkulu.
4.
Ngaphandle kwalezi zizathu, kwakukhona nezinye izinto ezamenza waphumelela:
a)
Beni Hanife wathumela ithimba eMedina ngonyaka wokugcina kaRasulullah (ukuthula kube kuye) ukuze bamukele ubuSulumane.
Njengoba uMprofethi uMuhammad aphendula incwadi yakhe ngenyanga kaZilhijjah, inyanga yokugcina yonyaka, ngonyaka weshumi weHijrah, wayezoshona cishe ezinyangeni ezimbili ngemuva kokuphendula incwadi.
b)
Lapha, uNehâru’r-Ricâl b. Unfüve wathunyelwa kuHanife okokuqala ukuyomfundisa i-Islam. Lo mngane kaMprofethi wayeqale wathuthela eMedina, lapho afunda khona ukufunda iKoran kanye nolwazi oluthile kanye nemininingwane mayelana nenkolo.
Umuntu okukhulunywa ngaye wathunyelwa nguMprofethi ukuba afake itshe emgqeni kaMusaylima; kodwa lapho efika esizweni sikaBani Hanifa, ngemva kokuhlola isimo, waphambuka enkolweni, waphuma ebuSulumeni, waya ngakubani kaMusaylima.
UMuseylime wamenza ngokushesha umeluleki nomsekeli wakhe ukuze amsebenzise. Ngakho-ke, uNeharu’r-Rical waba “isilingo esikhulu” kunoMuseylime. Ngakho-ke, wakhulisa futhi waqinisa ukuphikiswa kukaMuseylime, owayengumkhohlisi, nokukholwa kwabantu kuye. Ngoba wayefunga ethi uletha kubo umyalezo kaMprofethi, ethi bobabili uMuhammad noMuseylime bathunyelwe njengabaprofethi. Abantu baqala ukumqinisekisa.
c)
Ukuntuleka kwazi ngolwazi lwenkolo/u-Islam nokholo kulelo qembu, kanye nezinye izizathu ezishiwo, kwenza kwaba lula ukubakhohlisa; lokhu kwaba yisizathu sokuthi uMseyilime athole abalandeli abaningi ngokuya kwesikhathi.
Mhlawumbe lesi yisona sizathu esibaluleke kakhulu ekunyukeni kwefitna kaMusaylima.
Ngaleso sikhathi, iMadina ayikwazanga ukuthumela amabutho empi ukuyobhubhisa uMusaylima.
Ngesikhathi sokubusa kuka-Abu Bakr, uMusaylima wahlula amabutho amabili amaSulumane ayethunyelwe kuye ngokulandelana.
Okwesithathu, ngonyaka we-12 we-Hijra, lapho uKhalid b. Velid emhlasela, ibutho lakhe lalinezinkulungwane ezingama-40 zamasosha.
Ngonyaka we-12 weHijra, kwatholwa impumelelo enkulu ngokumelene noMusaylima, owahlulwa empini eyayiholwa nguKhalid ibn al-Walid, umkhuzi wamabutho amaSulumane. UMusaylima kanye nabalandeli bakhe abakhulu babulawa, kwabhujiswa cishe abantu abangu-20,000 ebuthweni lakhe, ngaleyo ndlela kwapheliswa isiphithiphithi kanye nengozi eyayibangelwa nguMusaylima.
Uma le ndaba ibhekwa ngale ndlela, ukuvukela kanye nenkohliso kaMusaylima kuzoqondakala kangcono.
