عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ حِينَ قَرَأَ كِتَابَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ قَالَ لِلرَّسُولَيْنِ فَمَا تَقُولَانِ أَنْتُمَا قَالَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin Mas'ud Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) read the letter of Musaylimah the Liar, he said to his two messengers: "What do you yourselves say?" They replied: "We say what Musaylimah says." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! If it were not that messengers are not killed, I would have beheaded both of you."
