أَمْلَى عَلَيْنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ بِنَيْسَابُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ فِي شَيْءٍ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قُلْتُ «هَذَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ» قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ»
