The Meaning of Describing the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Sermon as Eloquent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His description of the Messenger of Allah’s (peace and blessings be upon him) sermon by saying: “an eloquent sermon”?
Answer:
It means a great one, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the utmost, meaning: he praised Allah, extolled Him, and reminded the people, going to the utmost in reminding them so that they would fear the wrath of Allah.
And the eloquent one is that which included admonition, reminder, and warning with clear and evident words, along with intensity in that, and displaying fear for them and caution for them.
And when he (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon, his anger would intensify, his voice would rise (peace and blessings be upon him), and his eyes would redden as if he were a warner to an army, saying: “I have poured over you and touched you.” It is not a dead, weak sermon. Some people, when they deliver a sermon, their speech is weak, and their speech is dead and does not affect the hearts, unlike the one who delivers a sermon with strength and eloquence, and the creation of impactful words, and the impactful voice which includes the selection of impactful words, and the display of sadness and fear for the listeners.
