حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ قُتِلَ ابْنُ النَّوَّاحَةِ إِنَّ هَذَا وَابْنَ أُثَالٍ كَانَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولَيْنِ لمُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَشْهَدَانِ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ قَاتِلًا رَسُولًا لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا قَالَ فَجَرَتْ سُنَّةً أَنْ لَا يُقْتَلَ الرَّسُولُ فَأَمَّا ابْنُ أُثَالٍ فَكَفَانَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَمْكَنَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ الْآنَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3708
It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: 'Abdullah (RA) said when Ibn an-Nawwahah was killed: This man and Ibn Uthal came to the Prophet (PBUH) as envoys of Musailimah the Liar. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to them: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They said: We bear witness that Musailimah is the messenger of Allah! He said: "If I were to kill any envoy, I would have struck your necks." And it became a precedent that envoys were not to be killed. As for Ibn Uthal, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took care of him for us. And as for this one, he persisted in his misguidance until Allah enabled the Muslims to capture him now.
