59. Jizyah
٥٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجِزْيَةِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when two messengers came to him from Musaylimah the Liar with their book, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to them, "Do you both say what he says?" They replied, "Yes". He said, "By Allah, if it were not that the messengers were not to be killed, I would have struck your necks."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَاءَهُ رَسُولَا مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ بِكِتَابِهِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُمَا وَأَنْتُمَا تَقُولَانِ مِثْلَمَا يَقُولُ؟ فَقَالَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَكُمَا
Harithah ibn Mudarrib said that he came to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and said (to him): There is no enmity between me and any of the Arabs. I passed a mosque of Banu Hanifah. They (the people) believed in Musaylimah. Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) sent for them. They were brought, and he asked them to repent, except Ibn an-Nawwahah. He said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Were it not that you were not a messenger, I would behead you. But today you are not a messenger. He then ordered Qarazah ibn Ka'b (to kill him). He beheaded him in the market. Anyone who wants to see Ibn an-Nawwahah slain in the market (he may see him). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2762)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَكَ فَأَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ لَسْتَ بِرَسُولٍ فَأَمَرَ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ فِي السُّوقِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ قَتِيلًا بِالسُّوقِ
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ibn Nawwaha, 'If it were not for the fact that you are a Messenger, I would have killed you.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَقَتَلْتُكَ
أَنْ لَا تُقْتَلَ الرُّسُلُ
