بَابُ مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا
Chapter: "Indeed, Some Speech Is Magic"
Hadith 872
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."
Hadith 873
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَعْنٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ دَفَعَ وَلَدَهُ إِلَى الشَّعْبِيِّ يُؤَدِّبُهُمْ، فَقَالَ: عَلِّمْهُمُ الشِّعْرَ يَمْجُدُوا وَيُنْجِدُوا، وَأَطْعِمْهُمُ اللَّحْمَ تَشْتَدُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ، وَجُزَّ شُعُورَهُمْ تَشْتَدُّ رِقَابُهُمْ، وَجَالِسْ بِهِمْ عِلْيَةَ الرِّجَالِ يُنَاقِضُوهُمُ الْكَلامَ.
Umar bin Salam (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abdul Malik bin Marwan entrusted his son to Imam Shabi (may Allah have mercy on him) so that he could teach him manners, and also said: Teach him poetry so that he may become dignified and great, and feed him meat so that his heart may become strong, and keep cutting his hair so that his neck may become strong, and also make him sit with elders so that he may be able to debate with them.
