Who was responsible for killing the false prophet Aswad al-Ansi?

Explanation

Aswad al-Ansi was a false prophet who emerged in Yemen during the final days of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He claimed prophethood and gained significant following among the people of Yemen. After the Prophet's death, during the Ridda Wars (Wars of Apostasy) under Caliph Abu Bakr (R.A.), Qais bin Abdu Yagoos, along with other loyal Muslims, plotted and killed Aswad al-Ansi, effectively ending his rebellion and restoring Islamic rule in Yemen.

Good to know

Aswad al-Ansi, also known as al-Aswad al-Ansi or Abhala bin Ka'b, was one of several false prophets who emerged during and shortly after the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Others included Musaylimah al-Kadhdhab, Tulayha al-Asadi, and Sajah. The elimination of Aswad al-Ansi was one of the early successes during the Ridda Wars, which were fought to suppress apostasy and false claimants to prophethood across Arabia under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (R.A.).
