كِتَاب الْجِهَادِ وَالسِّيَرِ

Chapter 103

(103) 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)).

103- بَابُ مَنْ أَرَادَ غَزْوَةً فَوَرَّى بِغَيْرِهَا، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ الْخُرُوجَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ:

English narration

Narrated by كعب بن مالك الأنصاري

"Scarcely did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out for a journey on a day other than Thursday."

النص العربي

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
