حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ صَرْفَ الْكَلاَمِ لِيَسْبِيَ بِهِ قُلُوبَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلاَ عَدْلاً " .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of resurrection Allah will not accept repentance or ransom from him who learns excellence of speech to captivate thereby the hearts of men, or of people.
