سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُمَا حِينَ قَرَآ كِتَابَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ مَا تَقُولاَنِ أَنْتُمَا قَالاَ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لاَ تُقْتَلُ لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say when they (messengers sent by Musaylimah) 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.
