'Ammar delivered to us the sermon. It was short and eloquent. When he (, Ammir) descended (from the pulpit) we said to him: 0 Abd al-Yaqzn, you have delivered a short and eloquent sermon. Would that you had lengthened (the sermon). He said: I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The lengthening of prayer by a man and the shortness of the sermon is the sign of his understanding (of faith). So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for there is charm (in precise) expression.

أَبُو وَائِلٍ خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ فَأَوْجَزَ وَأَبْلَغَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ طُولَ صَلاَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَاقْصُرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا

[AI] 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."

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

So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for there is charm (in precise) expression. (Using translation from Muslim 869)

أَبُو وَائِلٍخَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, prolonging the prayer and shortening the sermon are signs of a person's understanding (of religion), so prolong the prayer and shorten the sermon." This hadith is authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs (referring to Al-Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not mention it in this wording according to the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ طُولَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقِصَرَ الْخُطْبَةِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ بِهَذِهِ السِّيَاقَةِ على شرط البخاري ومسلم

[AI] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Indeed, the length of a man's prayer and the brevity of his sermon is indicative of his understanding (of religion). So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for indeed, eloquence is a form of magic.'"

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاقْصُرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا»

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقَصَّرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاقْصِرُوا الْخُطَبَ

"إِنَّ طولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطبَتِهِ مَئِنَّة من فِقْهِهِ، فَأَطيلُوا الصلاةَ واقْصُرُوا الْخُطبَةَ، وإِنَّ من البيان سِحْرًا".
