حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النَّحْوِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي صَخْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ جَهْلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حُكْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ عِيَالًا ،‏‏‏‏ فقال صَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ:‏‏‏‏ صَدَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ وَهُوَ أَلْحَنُ بِالْحُجَجِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَسْحَرُ الْقَوْمَ بِبَيَانِهِ فَيَذْهَبُ بِالْحَقِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ جَهْلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَتَكَلَّفُ الْعَالِمُ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فَيُجَهِّلُهُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حُكْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهِيَ هَذِهِ الْمَوَاعِظُ وَالْأَمْثَالُ الَّتِي يَتَّعِظُ بِهَا النَّاسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ عِيَالًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرْضُكَ كَلَامَكَ وَحَدِيثَكَ عَلَى مَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ وَلَا يُرِيدُهُ.

I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: In eloquence there is magic, in knowledge ignorance, in poetry wisdom, and in speech heaviness. Sa'sa'ah ibn Suhan said: The Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم spoke the truth. His statement In eloquence there is magic means: (For example), there is a right due from a man who is more eloquent in reasoning than the man who is demanding his right. He (the defendant) charms the people by his speech and takes away his right. His statement In knowledge there is ignorance means: A scholar brings to his knowledge what he does not know, and thus he becomes ignorant of that. His statement In poetry there is wisdom means: These are the sermons and examples by which people receive admonition. His statement In speech there is heaviness means: That you present your speech and your talk to a man who is not capable of understanding it, and who does not want it.
