أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا غُصْنًا يَابِسًا فَهَزَّهُ حَتَّى تَحَاتَّ وَرَقُهُ قَالَ أَمَا تَسْأَلُنِي لِمَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ لَهُ لِمَ فَعَلْتَهُ؟ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ وَصَلَّى الْخَمْسَ تَحَاتَّتْ ذُنُوبُهُ كَمَا تَحَاتَّ هَذَا الْوَرَقُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ {وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ} [هود 114] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ} [هود 114]

✧ I was with Salman under a tree. He took a dry branch from it and shook it until its leaves fell off. He said: Will you not ask me why I do this? I said to him: Why did you do it? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did this with me, then said: When a Muslim performs ablution and does it well, and prays the five prayers, his sins fall away as these leaves fell away. Then he said: {And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night} [Hud 114] up to His saying {That is a reminder for those who remember} [Hud 114].
