Hadith #18
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ
عَمْرٍو عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا يَعْلَمُ نَافِعٌ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُبْغِضُ الْبَلِيغَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِي يَتَخَلَّلُ بِلِسَانِهِ كَمَا تَخَلَّلَ الْبَاقِرَةُ بِلِسَانِهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yazid, from Nafi' ibn 'Umar, from Bishr ibn 'Asim ibn Sufyan, from his father — from the Prophet ﷺ, as far as Nafi' knew: 'Indeed Allah (عز وجل) despises the man who is overly eloquent — twisting his tongue around words as a cow twists its tongue [around grass].'
