وَعَنِ ابْنِ مُعَيْزٍ السَّعْدِيِّ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ أَسْقِي فَرَسًا لِي فِي السَّحَرِ فَمَرَرْتُ بِمَسْجِدِ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ : إِنْ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ [ فَبَعَثَ الشُّرْطَةَ فَجَاءُوا بِهِمْ ] فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ فَتَابُوا ، فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُمْ ، وَضَرَبَ عُنُقَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ النَّوَّاحَةِ ، فَقَالُوا : أَخَذْتَ قَوْمًا فِي أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَتَلْتَ بَعْضَهُمْ وَتَرَكْتَ بَعْضَهُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ هَذَا وَابْنُ أُثَالِ بْنِ حَجَرٍ فَقَالَ : " أَتَشْهَدَانِ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " . فَقَالَا : تَشْهَدُ أَنْتَ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ قَاتِلًا وَفْدًا لَقَتَلْتُكُمَا " فَلِذَلِكَ قَتَلْتُهُ .
قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَابْنُ مُعَيِزٍ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
وَلَهُ طَرِيقٌ أَتَمُّ مِنْ هَذِهِ فِي الْحُدُودِ .

The people said: "You seized all of them for one and the same matter, then you had one of them killed and let the others go?" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when this man and Ibn Uthal bin Hajar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you both bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?"
