حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ مُسَيْلِمَةُ كَتَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ سَعْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَهُمَا حِينَ قَرَأَ كِتَابَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تَقُولَانِ أَنْتُمَا ؟ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا .

I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say when he read the letter of Musaylimah: What do you believe yourselves? They said: We believe as he believes. He said: I swear by Allah that were it not that messengers are not killed, I would cut off your heads.
