Quran 3:144 – Can A Rasul Be Killed? And Posion Given To Prophet Muhammad (SWS)?
Assalamualaikum
It is said that a Rasool (unlike a Nabi) can’t get killed as Jesus AS was also saved, but Quran in a verse says:
MuHammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels can never harm Allah in the least. Allah shall soon reward the grateful.
Isn’t it giving a possibility that a Rasool can also be get killed?

Regarding whether Rasul can be killed or not, Quran says:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحَادُّونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ فِي الأَذَلِّينَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَرُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ
Indeed, those who show hostility to Allah and His Rasul are bound to be humiliated. The Almighty has ordained that I and my Rusul shall always triumph. (58:20-21)
As a principle, Rasul will always become dominant over his rejectors (either in his lifetime or through his followers after his death or in the form of divine punishment through angels). And it is a corollary of this law that a Rasul cannot be killed at the hands of his own rejectors.

Discussion on whether Rasul can be killed or not:
Regarding Quran 3:144 quoted above, it is in a specific context as a way to make a point across Muslims after their reaction on rumours regarding death of Prophet Muhammad (sws) during battle of Uhad. The point being that what difference does it make whether Prophet Muhammad (sws) dies or gets killed? is your affiliation with the truth or with the person only? If the message is important and crucial for success in afterlife then why turn your backs if something happens to the messenger? This verse is not giving any principle in this regard.

Regarding Poison given to Prophet Muhammad (sws), it is evident when all the narrations are seen in this regard that Prophet Muhammad (sws) was informed of this timely and saved by the Almighty. It was just another attempt by Jews to kill The Prophet among many others and Allah saved Him from all such attempts.

A Rasul cannot be killed before his mission is accomplished but after that he can be killed, but there is no example of a Rasul got killed after his mission.

Then why Isa AS was saved from their hands?

if Jesus was crucified it would be the triumph of the Jews. This couldn’t happen. For a Rasul to get killed or die after itmam ul Hujjah is possible but not in a way which tantamounts to win of his opponent.
