حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَلَّمَا يُرِيدُ غَزْوَةً يَغْزُوهَا، إِلَّا وَرَّى بِغَيْرِهَا، حَتَّى كَانَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ، فَغَزَاهَا، ، رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ اسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا، وَاسْتَقْبَلَ غَزْوَ عَدُوٍّ كَثِيرٍ، فَجَلَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَهُمْ لِيَتَأَهَّبُوا أُهْبَةَ عَدُوِّهِمْ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِوَجْهِهِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would rarely set out for a battle without concealing his true intention by indicating another destination, except in the case of the Battle of Tabuk. In that instance, during intense heat, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) intended a long journey through deserts and to face a large enemy force. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) clearly informed the Muslims so that they could prepare thoroughly to confront the enemy, and he told them the exact direction in which he intended to go.
