Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Haritha bin Mudarrib, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that a man set out and mounted his horse, then he passed by the mosque of the Banu Hanifa tribe and performed prayer there. The imam of those people recited the words of Musaylimah the Liar! This man came to Hazrat Ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, and informed him of this matter. He, may Allah be pleased with him, sent a messenger and summoned those people. All of them were brought. Then he, may Allah be pleased with him, made all of them repent. All of them repented except Abdullah bin Nuwahah. He, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him: O Abdullah! If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “If you were not a messenger, I would have struck your neck.” But today you are not a messenger. O Kharashah! Get up and strike his neck. So Kharashah got up and struck his neck.
