Sunan Abi Dawud 5006
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of resurrection Allah will not accept repentance or ransom from him who learns excellence of speech to captivate thereby the hearts of men, or of people.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ صَرْفَ الْكَلاَمِ لِيَسْبِيَ بِهِ قُلُوبَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلاَ عَدْلاً ” .
