Hadith 4804
وَعَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَن أَبِيه عَن جدِّه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ جَهْلًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حُكْمًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ عِيَالًا» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ
Sakhr bin Abdullah bin Buraidah narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Indeed, some speech has an effect like magic, some knowledge is ignorance, some poetry is wisdom, and some statements are burdens." Its chain is weak. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
