Chapter: Shortening the sermon
Hadith 1595
أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عُصَيْمٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أبْجَرَ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ، لَوْ كُنْتَ نَفَّسْتَ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطِيلُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ، وَاقْصُرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطَبَ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا".
Abu Wa'il said: Our master Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered to us a very brief and extremely eloquent sermon, so we said: O Abu Yaqzan! It would have been better if you had made this sermon longer. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A man's prolonging of the prayer and shortening of the sermon is a sign of his understanding, so make the prayer long and the sermons short, and indeed some speech is (as) magic (in its effect)." (That is, some brief words have an effect like magic.)
Hadith 1596
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: "صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا".
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I prayed with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his prayer was moderate and his sermon was also moderate (that is, neither long nor very short).
