حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً - أَوْ أَعْرَابِيًّا - أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمَ بِكَلاَمٍ بَيِّنٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man or a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke very clearly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, some eloquence is magical in its effect, and some poetry is based on wisdom."
