حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْحَرْبُ خُدْعَةٌ ".
Translation
Sadaqa ibn al-Fadl informed us; Ibn 'Uyayna informed us from 'Amr, who heard Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) say that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘War is a stratagem.’
