Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn Hassa'n from ali ibn Khalid who has said the following. "Muhammad who belonged to Zaydi sect said to me this. "I was in the army camp and I was told that there was a prisoner brought from the area of al-Sham (Syria) tied up and that he has proclaimed himself a prophet."
Muhammad Husayn Haykal wa Misri na Abul Kalam Azad wa India wamewanukuu wakusanyaji na wafafanuzi wa Hadithi ile isemayo kwamba Hadhrat Abu Bakr na Hadhrat Umar wakati fulani waliomba ruhusa ya kumuona Mtume. Walipoingia nyumbani kwake walimkuta amekaa kimya, na kuzungukwa na wake zake. (wanawake hawa walikuwa wanadai fedha nyingi zaidi kutoka kwa mume wao, kwani walisema kwamba hawangeweza kuishi kwenye umasikini).
