Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Ibn an-Nawwahah and Ibn Athal, messengers of Musaylimah, came to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said to them: “Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?” They said: “We bear witness that Musaylimah is the Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I believe in Allah and His Messengers. If I were to kill messengers, I would have killed you both.” Abdullah said: Thus, it became established that messengers are not killed.
