حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ:، ، خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ، فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ، وَأَوْجَزْتَ، فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ، قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ، (١) فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا (٢) " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered to us an extremely eloquent and concise sermon. When he descended from the pulpit, we said, "O Abu al-Yaqzan! You delivered a very eloquent and concise sermon; if you had taken a breath in between (and spoken at greater length, it would have been excellent)." He replied, "I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'A person's long prayer and short sermon are signs of his understanding. Therefore, make the prayer long and the sermon short, for some speech has the effect of magic.'"
