(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ ابْنُ النَّوَّاحَةِ ، وَابْنُ أُثَالٍ رَسُولَا مُسَيْلِمَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا : " أَتَشْهَدَانِ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ " قَالَا : نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ! ! فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ، لَوْ كُنْتُ قَاتِلًا رَسُولًا لَقَتَلْتُكُمَا " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : قَالَ : فَمَضَتْ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ibn Nawahah and Ibn Athal came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as messengers from Musaylimah the Liar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked both of them: "Do you both testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "We testify that Musaylimah is the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to kill messengers, I would have beheaded both of you." From that time, it became customary that messengers are not killed.
