بَابُ كَثْرَةِ الْكَلامِChapter: Excessive Speech
Hadith 876
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ: خَطَبَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ الْكَلاَمَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلاَمِ فِي الْخُطَبِ مِنْ شَقَاشِقِ الشَّيْطَانِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that a man delivered a sermon before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and spoke at great length, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Speaking too much in sermons is among the useless acts of Satan.
