-He was married to Azujah, a female who claimed to be a Prophet.

The beginning on an enormous battle: His army ranged from 20,000-60,000.
-A person came to Rasuallah (saw) learned the Quran and apostated. He then joined Musaliymah. His fitnah was greater because he was scholarly, followed Musaliymah. Since he was a scholar people followed him, into Hell-Fire.

-Musaliymah prayed 3 times a day. He said the Quran was revealed to him and made up verses.
-He was a liar from Hajid (their tribe) better than the one from the Propher and so they followed him.

-The Muslim Army had 11,000. Khaild bin Waleed became a leader and the battle took place.

- The right of the Prophet's sword was it bends due to the amount of heads it hit. One of the men offered to do so. He wore a red bandana and strutted arrogantly. Rasuallah (saw) said had this taken place anywhere else it would be hated but since its on the battlefield, it motivates.

-Reasoning of tribes: During battles they would know which one is a weakling and more attention is gathered there.

*Slogan: Ya Ashab Surah-tul Baqarah (O people of surah baqarah)*

-Army of Musaliymah was double of the muslims.
-The Muslims were losing 5 to 1.
-Abdallah ibn Omar was in the nursing docks. One of the Ansar was critically injured. Someone was trying to motivate them and started yelling "O you Ansar!" the injured Ansar grabs his sword and went back into the battle field.
-All who had the Quran memorized gathered around Ammar Ibn Yaisr. He led them and pushed Musalimyah's army back.

The Garden of Death: Musaliymah ended up gathered in a walled garden and the gates were locked. Al-Bara'ah wanted to be thrown over the wall. When he is thrown over, he runs for the gate. Musaliymah's army is after him since he was to open the gate. The Muslims get in and Wahshi who killed the uncle of the Prophet was after Musaliymah with his spear and was shot by the spear.
