Chapter 15 · Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ غَزْوَةً وَرَّى غَيْرَهَا، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: لَمْ يَجِئْ بِهِ إِلَّا مَعْمَرٌ يُرِيدُ قَوْلَهُ الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِنَّمَا يُرْوَى مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَمِنْ حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

The Arabic text and the translations come from our previous collection: English from hadithapi.com, German and Turkish machine-translated (Gemini) and unreviewed. A new translation from the Arabic with the chain of narration will follow.
When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم intended to go on an expedition, he always pretended to be going somewhere else, and he would say: War is deception. Abu Dawud said: Only Mamar has transmitted this tradition. By this he refers to his statement War is deception through this chain of narrators. He narrated it from the tradition of Amr bin Dinar from Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ , and from the tradition of Mamar from Hammam bin Munabbih on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ .
