Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "Two men from the east stood up and spoke, and people were
amazed at their eloquence. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'Some eloquence is sorcery,' or he said,
'Part of eloquence is sorcery.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 56, Hadith 7

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abu Salih as-
Samman informed him that Abu Hurayra said, "Truly a man utters words
to which he attaches no importance, and by them he falls into the fire
of Jahannam, and truly a man utters words to which he attaches no
importance, and by them Allah raises him into the Garden."

Malik related to me that he heard that Isa ibn Maryam used to
say, "Do not speak much without the mention of Allah for you will
harden your hearts. A hard heart is far from Allah, but you do not
know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people as if you were lords.
Look at your wrong actions as if you were slaves. Some people are
afflicted by wrong action and some people are protected from it. Be
merciful to the people of affliction and praise Allah for His
protection."
