أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ §خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ يَطْرُقُ فَرَسًا لَهُ يَعْنِي يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا فَمَرَّ بِمَسْجِدِ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ وَإِمَامُهُمْ يَقْرَأُ قِرَاءَةَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ فَرَفَعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ فَتَابُوا إِلَّا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ وَهُوَ كَانَ إِمَامَهُمْ فَقُتِلَ ابْنُ النَّوَّاحَةِ فَقَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَكَ فَأَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ لَسْتَ بِرَسُولٍ قُمْ فَاضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ»

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Were it not that you are a messenger, I would have struck off your neck. But today you are not a messenger. Get up and strike off his neck." So he got up, went to him, and struck off his neck.
