قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَغَيْرِهِ، وَصَلَ الْحَدِيثَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ:

وَكَتَبَ مُسَيْلِمَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: مِنْ مُسَيْلِمَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ لِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ لِقُرَيْشٍ نِصْفَ الْأَرْضِ، وَلَنَا نِصْفَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنَّ قُرَيْشًا قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ، وَشَهِدَ الرَّجُلَانِ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. وَقَالَا: إِنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ لَا يُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُشْرِكَ مَعَكَ فِي الْأَمْرِ، وَأُحْدِثَتْ إِلَيْهِ نُبُوَّةٌ مَعَ نُبُوَّتِكَ.

✧ Musaylima wrote to the Messenger of God ﷺ: "From Musaylima b. Habib to Muhammad, the Messenger of God ﷺ. Peace be upon you. Now then, Quraysh have half the earth and we have half the earth, but Quraysh are a people who transgress." And the two men bore witness that Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of God. They said: "Musaylima does not deny that, except that he has been made a partner with you in the affair, and a prophethood has been brought to him alongside your prophethood."
