حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، قَدِمَا فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَخَطَبَا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلاَمِهِمَا فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا " أَوْ " إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
Two men arrived during the time of the Messenger of Allah delivering an address. The people were amazed by their speech, so the Messenger of Allah turned to us and said: "Indeed There Is Magic In Eloquence'-Or- 'Indeed Some Eloquence Is Magic.'"
[1] It is clear that the author has narrated this Hadīth after the previous, due to the descriptions of " Al-Bayān " in them. While " Bayān " may be used for clarification, or explanation, or eloquence, and all good types, these narrations explain the harmful types of " Bayān ," and some of that has an effect like magic, putting a spell on the listener, so that he sees that something is true, when in reality it is false, and vice-versa.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2028In-book reference : Book 27, Hadith 134English translation : Vol. 4, Book 1, Hadith 2028
