Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ الْمَشْرِقِ فَخَطَبَا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ بَيَانِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرٌ أَوْ إِنَّ مِنْ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Ibn Umar, who said: Two men came from the East and delivered speeches, and the people marveled at their eloquence. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, some eloquence is sorcery," or "Indeed, part of eloquence is sorcery."
