Ibn 'Umar said, "Two men came from the east as orators in the time
of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. They
stood up, spoke and then sat down. Thabit ibn Qays, the orator of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood up and spoke and
the people liked what he said. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, stood up and said, 'O people, say what you have
to say. seeking to present words is the best manner is from Shaytan.' Then
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'There is some magic in eloquence.'"
