أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عُصَيْمٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ
خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَوْ كُنْتَ تنَفَّسْتَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَاقْصُرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطَبَ فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لسِحْرًا»

✧ ʿAmmār b. Yāsir delivered a sermon to us, and he was eloquent yet concise. We said, “O Abu al-Yaqẓān, if only you had paused a little?” He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘Indeed, the length of a man’s prayer and the brevity of his sermon are a sign of his understanding, so lengthen this prayer and shorten these sermons, for indeed some eloquence is sorcery.’”
