وَعَن عمْرِو بن العاصِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمًا وَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَأَكْثَرَ الْقَوْلَ. فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: لَوْ قَصَدَ فِي قَوْلِهِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ - أَوْ أُمِرْتُ - أَنْ أَتَجَوَّزَ فِي الْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّ الْجَوَازَ هُوَ خير» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
'Amr bin al-'Aas Narrated from:
One day when a man stood up and delivered a lengthy speech, he remarked, 'If he had been brief in his speech that would have been better for him. I had heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say, 'Indeed, I am convinced (or, I have been commanded) that I should be brief with my words, for brevity is better." [2]
