The Book of Jihad (Fighting For Allah’S Cause)
بَابُ مَنْ أَرَادَ غَزْوَةً فَوَرَّى بِغَيْرِهَا، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ الْخُرُوجَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ:
Chapter. Concealing the true destination of a Ghazwa by using an equivocation which indicates apparently that one is going to a different destination; and the preference of Thursday for journeys (by the Prophet (p.b.u.h)).
Sahih Bukhari 2949 — Concealing the true destination of a Ghazwa
وَعَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : لَقَلَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَخْرُجُ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " .
Ka`b bin Malik used to say: "Scarcely did Allah's Apostle set out for a journey on a day other than Thursday."
