حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ إِل
َى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَطَبَا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ بَيَانِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنْ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرٌ
