Is it permissible to describe eloquent speech as sorcery?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Eloquent, beautiful speech that captivates hearts; do some people call it sorcery?

Answer:
It is called sorcery; this is because it enchants the listeners, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.إن من البيان لسحرًا
Sahih al-Bukhari 5767
