أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بِدِمَشْقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ سَهْلٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ السَّكَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
«الْبَيَانُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالْعِيُّ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَيْسَ الْبَيَانُ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَيَانَ الْفَصْلُ فِي الْحَقِّ وَلَيْسَ الْعِيُّ قِلَّةَ الْكَلَامِ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ»
