Hadith 875
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: قَدِمَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ خَطِيبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَا فَتَكَلَّمَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَا، وَقَامَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، خَطِيبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمَ، فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلاَمِهِمَا، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ: ”يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، قُولُوا قَوْلَكُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا تَشْقِيقُ الْكَلاَمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ“، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Two eloquent men came from the east during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Both of them stood up and spoke, then sat down. Then the orator of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), stood up and spoke. The people were amazed at the speech of those two. After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delivered a sermon and said: "O people! Speak in your usual manner; drawing out words from words is only from Satan." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, some speech is magic."
