١٦٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ» وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ، وَكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَأَنَسٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Arabic word 'Khad'ah' means a hidden plan or strategy. Similarly, Tawriyah (equivocation) is also a manner of speech in which the speaker, although he does not lie, deliberately uses ambiguous words so that the addressee gets a different meaning from the one intended by the speaker.
