Note 29 — Chapter V · CAMPAIGN OF KHALID AGAINST THE FALSE PROPHET TOLEIHA. A.H. XI. Nov. A.D. 632.

Had there been anything else in Toleiha’s teaching, there is no reason why we should not have heard of it, as Toleiha, when he returned to the faith, became a distinguished champion of Islam. There may, however, have been a disinclination on his part to dwell on this chapter of his life. Al Kindy, the Christian, speaks in his Apology with greater respect of Moseilama’s sayings as calculated to draw off the followers of Mahomet. But I see no evidence of this. See the Apology of Al Kindy, p. 31 (Smith & Elder, 1881).
