Keeping the sermon brief
[AI] Ammar addressed us and was brief in his sermon. A man from Quraysh said to him, "You have spoken words that were sufficient; if only you had made it longer." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to make the sermon long."
خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ فَتَجَوَّزَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ: لَقَدْ قُلْتَ قَوْلًا شِفَاءً، فَلَوْ أَنَّكَ أَطَلْتَ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ نُطِيلَ الْخُطْبَةَ.
