Musaylima (Arabic: مُسَيْلِمَةُ), otherwise known as Musaylima ibn Ḥabīb (Arabic: مسيلمه ابن حبيب) d.632, was a claimant of prophethood [1][2][3] from the Banu Hanifa tribe,[4][5] of which present day descendants include the House of Saud among other Najd tribes.[6][page needed][7][page needed] Based from Diriyah in present day Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he claimed to be a prophet and was an opponent of Islam in 7th-century Arabia. He was a leader during the Ridda wars. He is considered by Muslims to be a false prophet (Arabic: اَلْكَذَّابُ al-Kadhdhāb).[8] He is commonly called Musaylima al-Kadhāb (Musaylima the Arch-Liar).[citation needed][by whom?]
