حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مَطَرُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَأَمَرَهُ بِقَتْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ ، فَاصْنَعْ مَا تُرِيدُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man from among his Companions to a man of the Jews and ordered him to kill him. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am not able to do that unless you grant me permission (to say something as part of my plan)." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, war is deception, so do whatever you see (fit)."
