أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عُصَيْمٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أبْجَرَ ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ، لَوْ كُنْتَ نَفَّسْتَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّطُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطِيلُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ، وَاقْصُرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطَبَ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا "

Al-Alaa bin Usaym Al-Jafi told us, Abdul Rahman bin Abdul-Malik bin Abjar told us, Abu Abdullah bin Abjar told me, On the authority of Wasil ibn Hayyan, on the authority of Abu Wa’il, he said: Ammar ibn Yasir addressed us, and he eloquently and concisely, so we said: O Abu Al-Yaqzan, if Did you breathe something? He said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: “Lengthening a man’s prayer and shortening his sermon is a sign of his jurisprudence, so lengthen this.” Prayer, and keep these sermons short, for indeed, part of the statement is magic.”
