[Lord of the Rings] When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli thought they were about to run into Saruman, they worried about him putting a spell on them if allowed to speak. What, SPECIFICALLY, were they worried about?

Saruman's speech in specific has the ability to be extremely persuasive. His spell is that of charm, influencing them to drop their guard or even join him. When the group had taken Orthanc and Saruman was locked in the tower, he and Gandalf spoke. The men of Rohan were almost immediately charmed by him and would have turned away if Gandalf was not present and commanded even greater power than Saruman.
