An Ustādh, Saheed Rasaq, on Monday, June 26, said Prophet Muhammad and other messengers of Allah (God) never killed in retaliation for alleged blasphemy during their time despite insults from his critics.

Speaking to Legit.ng, Ustādh Rasaq said Prophet Muhammad instead "exhibited the highest standard of patience".

The Lagos-based religious teacher made the clarification in a chat with Legit.ng while reacting to the killing of Usman Buda, a butcher in Sokoto state, over an alleged blasphemous statement.
