English translation

[2009] 47 - (869) It was narrated that Wâsil bin Ḥayyân said: "Abû Wâ'il said: Ammâr addressed us and he spoke briefly but eloquently. When he came down (from the Minbar), we said: "O Abû Al-Yaqzân, you spoke eloquently but briefly, would that you had made it longer." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'A man's lengthening his prayer and shortening his Khuṭbah is a sign of his understanding (of religion), so make your prayers lengthy and your Khuṭbah brief, for there is charm in eloquent speech.'"

Arabic text

47 - (869) حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ: خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ، فَأَوْجَزَ وَأَبْلَغَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ، فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ، مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَاقْصُرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا»
