Musnad of Ammar bin Yasir
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1642 — Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir delivered a sermon
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ : خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَأَوْجَزَ وَأَبْلَغَ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ ، قُلْنَا : يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ ، لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ ، فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ ، فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ ، وَاقْصُرُوا الْخُطَبَ ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا .
It is narrated from Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon to us that was very brief and eloquent. When he came down from the pulpit, we said: "O Abu al-Yaqzan, you spoke most eloquently and kept your words very brief; if only you had spoken a little longer!" He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, a man's lengthening of his prayer and shortening of his sermon is a sign of his understanding (fiqh) and wisdom. So lengthen the prayer and keep sermons short; and indeed some eloquence has the effect of magic."
