(or Al-aswid), a rival prophet to Mohammed in Arabia. He pretended that 'two angels appeared to him, giving him his commission. His eloquence and bravery drew great crowds after him; but he maintained his position only four months, being killed by his opponents. Aihala and Mosseilama, who also pretended to be a prophet sent from God, were called by the Mohammedans the two Liars.
