اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - حِينَ قَتَلَ ابْنَ النَّوَّاحَةِ : إِنَّ هَذَا وَابْنَ أُثَالٍ كَانَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَسُولَيْنِ لِمُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَتَشْهَدَانِ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " . فَقَالَا : نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " لَوْ كُنْتُ قَاتِلًا وَفْدًا لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا " . قَالَ : فَجَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ : أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ . فَأَمَّا ابْنُ أُثَالٍ فَكَفَانَاهُ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَمْكَنَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - مِنْهُ [ الْآنَ ] .
قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى مُطَوَّلًا ، وَإِسْنَادُهُمْ حَسَنٌ .

Abu Wa'il narrates: When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) had Ibn al-Nawwahah killed, he said at that time: This man and Ibn Uthal had both come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as envoys of Musaylimah the Liar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the two of them: "Do you both bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The two of them replied: "We bear witness that Musaylimah is the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to have any delegate (that is, envoy) killed, I would have had both your necks struck." The narrator states: After this the Sunnah was established that envoys are not killed. As for Ibn Uthal, Allah Almighty sufficed us against him (that is, he died); as for this man (that is, Ibn al-Nawwahah), he remained continually in that state until Allah Almighty has now given us power over him. (Allamah Haythami says:) I say:
