مُسْنَدُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 559 — Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah relates that Sayyiduna
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُولَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When I narrate something to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then falling down from the sky is far dearer (to me) than attributing to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) something he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say. But war is indeed a stratagem (and deception)."
