False prophet who later became a Muslim general.
Tulayha fought as a Muslim commander at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, a decisive victory against the Sassanid Empire. His participation demonstrated his integration into the Islamic state after his earlier rebellion.
Tulayha's forces were defeated by the Muslim army under Khalid ibn al-Walid at Buzakha. Tulayha fled to Syria, abandoning his followers. This defeat marked the collapse of his prophetic movement.
After the Ridda Wars, Tulayha repented and converted to Islam. He later served as a commander in the Muslim conquests, participating in battles against the Sassanid Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Tulayha ibn Khuwaylid declared himself a prophet, gaining followers among the Banu Asad tribe. He led a rebellion against the authority of the caliphate during the Ridda Wars, posing a significant threat to Medina.
