Hadith 9930

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَدِمَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ خَطِيبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَا فَتَكَلَّمَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَا وَقَامَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ خَطِيبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا تَشْقِيقُ الْكَلَامِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the Prophetic era, two orators came from the east, they stood and delivered a speech and then sat down. Then the orator of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), stood up and after speaking, he also sat down. The people were greatly astonished by his speech. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! (In a natural manner and without any affectation or artificiality) express your purpose, for indeed, extracting the intricacies of speech is from Satan. Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, some eloquence is (like) magic.
