Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ.
English Translation
Anas said: 'I know the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).' It was said to him: 'How long was the prayer?' He said: 'When the Messenger of Allah would say Allahu Akbar while rising from bowing, one would think he had forgotten (because he stood so long). When he raised his head from prostration and sat, one would think he had forgotten (because he sat so long).'
