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."
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.
Hadith 877
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُهَيْلُ بْنُ ذِرَاعٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا يَزِيدَ أَوْ مَعْنَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”اجْتَمِعُوا فِي مَسَاجِدِكُمْ، وَكُلَّمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فَلْيُؤْذِنُونِي“، فَأَتَانَا أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَتَى، فَجَلَسَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمٌ مِنَّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِلْحَمْدِ دُونَهُ مَقْصَدٌ، وَلاَ وَرَاءَهُ مَنْفَذٌ. فَغَضِبَ فَقَامَ، فَتَلاَوَمْنَا بَيْنَنَا، فَقُلْنَا: أَتَانَا أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَتَى، فَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ آخَرَ فَجَلَسَ فِيهِ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ، فَجَاءَ مَعَنَا فَقَعَدَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَا شَاءَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَمَا شَاءَ جَعَلَ خَلْفَهُ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا“، ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا وَعَلَّمَنَا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'n bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Gather together in your mosques. When a group has gathered, inform me." The Prophet (peace be upon him) first came to us and sat down. Then one of us spoke and said: "All praise is due to Allah, for whose praise there is no other purpose except His Essence, and there is no place to flee except to Him." At this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) became angry and left. We blamed each other and said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had come to us first (but after hearing our speaker, he got up and left). Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to someone else's mosque and sat there. We came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and spoke to him. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) came with us and sat in his first seat or near it, then said: "All praise is due to Him who created whatever He wished, whenever He wished, and brought into existence whatever He wished afterwards. Indeed, many speeches are a kind of magic." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded us and taught us.
