It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the Prophetic era, two orators came from the east, they stood and delivered a speech and then sat down. Then the orator of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), stood up and after speaking, he also sat down. The people were greatly astonished by his speech. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! (In a natural manner and without any affectation or artificiality) express your purpose, for indeed, extracting the intricacies of speech is from Satan. Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, some eloquence is (like) magic.
