[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, "Indeed, the length of a man's prayer and the brevity of his sermon are indicative of his understanding of the religion, so prolong your prayers and shorten your sermons, for surely, eloquence lies in clear expression."  

الدارمي:١٥٩٧أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عُصَيْمٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَوْ كُنْتَ تنَفَّسْتَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَاقْصُرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطَبَ فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لسِحْرًا»

"I used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ and his prayer was moderate in length and his Khutbah was moderate in length." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1582)   

الدارمي:١٥٩٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا»
