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 ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَاقْصُرُوا الْخُطَبَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا

✧ Ammar b. Yasir delivered a sermon to us, and he was brief and eloquent. When he came down, we said: "O Abu al-Yaqzan, you have been eloquent and brief; would that you had paused for breath?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'Indeed, the length of a man's prayer and the shortness of his sermon is an indication of his understanding, so lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermons, and indeed there is magic in eloquence.'"
