[Machine] He said, "Verily, you are in a time where there are many scholars but few speakers, where the prayer is short and the sermon is long. So make the sermon short and lengthen the prayer. Indeed, eloquence is magic, and whoever seeks the Hereafter harms the worldly life, and whoever seeks the worldly life harms the Hereafter. O people, harm the transient for the sake of the eternal."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ فِي زَمَانٍ كَثِيرٍ عُلَمَاؤُهُ قَلِيلٍ خُطَبَاؤُهُ كَثِيرٍ مُعْطُوهُ الصَّلَاةُ فِيهَا قَصِيرَةٌ وَالْخُطْبَةُ فِيهَا طَوِيلَةٌ فَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ وَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ أَضَرَّ بِالدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الدُّنْيَا أَضَرَّ بِالْآخِرَةِ يَا قَوْمُ فَأَضِرُّوا بِالْفَانِيَةِ لِلْبَاقِيَةِ»
