The Prophet’s manner of speaking
Tirmidhi's Shama'il 222 — The Prophet’s manner of speaking
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْرُدُ سرْدَكُمْ هَذَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلَامٍ بَيِّنٍ فَصْلٍ، يَحْفَظُهُ مَنْ جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ»
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she says that the conversation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not continuous and hasty like you people, rather he spoke clearly and distinctly, so that whoever sat in his presence would remember his words.
