Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 978 — some people came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
وَبِهِ : نَا زُهَيْرٌ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ قَوْمًا جَاءُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَخَطَبُوا . فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا ، وَتَشْقِيقُ الْكَلَامِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke, and the people were amazed by (the eloquence of) their speech. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speak in your (natural) manner, for surely some eloquence is (as powerful as) magic, and hair-splitting in speech (with affectation and artificiality) is from Satan."
