(387) بَابُ كَثْرَةِ الْكَلامِ
Abu Yazid or Ma'n ibn Yazid reported that the Prophet, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, said, "Gather in your mosques. When thepeople are gathered, come and tell me.' The first of those to whom he camewas us and he sat down. One of the speakers spoke and said, 'Praise beto Allah. No praise can be directed to anyone except Him nor is there anyescape without Him.' The Prophet got angry, stood up and we blamed oneanother. Then he went to another mosque and sat in it. We sent to him andspoke to him. He came with us and sat where he had been sitting or nearto it. Then he said, 'Praise be to Allah who puts whatever He wishes beforeHim and whatever He wishes behind Him. There is some magic in eloquence.'Then he commanded us and taught us."
