البيهقي:١٨٤٥٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمَّى الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةً  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ وَأَخْرَجَاهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ
