قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْأَشْقَرُ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ سَوَّارٍ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ بْنِ نَجَبَةَ، قَالَ:
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ
