   كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ غُصْنًا مِنْهَا يَابِسًا فَهَزَّهُ فَتَحَاتَّتْ وَرَقُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا تَسْأَلُنِي لِمَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ؟ قُلْتُ: وَلِمَ تَفْعَلُهُ ؟ قَالَ: هَكَذَا فَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا سَلْمَانُ، أَلَا تَسْأَلُنِي لِمَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ؟ "، قُلْتُ: وَلِمَ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ، قَالَ: أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: " فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَحَاتَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ كَمَا تَحَاتَّ وَرَقُ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ "، وَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ

   ✧ I was with Salman under a tree, and he took a dry branch from it, shook it, and its leaves fell off. Then he said: Will you not ask me why I do this? I said: And why do you do it? He said: Thus did the Messenger of God ﷺ, then he said: 'O Salman, will you not ask me why I do this?' I said: And why do you do this, O Messenger of God? He said: When a Muslim performs wudu' and perfects it, then prays the five prayers—he said, I think he said: 'in congregation—his sins fall away just as the leaves of this tree fall away.' And the Messenger of God ﷺ recited: And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night. Indeed, good deeds remove evil deeds.

   ✧ A man from the People of the Book said to a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ: Your companion has taught you even how to relieve yourselves!

   رَأَيْتُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ وَرَأَى رَجُلًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ خُفَّيْهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ، فَأَمَرَهُ سَلْمَانُ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ وَعِمَامَتِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ، وَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى خِمَارِهِ وَخُفَّيْهِ

   ✧ I saw Salman al-Farisi, and he saw a man wanting to remove his leather socks during wudu', so Salman ordered him to wipe over his leather socks, his turban, and his hair. And Salman said: I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ wipe over his head covering and his leather socks.

   صَحِبْتُ سَلْمَانَ فَذَكَرَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكُمُوهُ وَخَوَّلَكُمُوهُ وَفَتَحَهُ لَكُمْ لَمُمْسِكٌ خِزَانَتَهُ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَيٌّ قَدْ كَانُوا يُصْبِحُونَ وَمَا عِنْدَهُمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، فَبِمَ ذَاكَ يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَبْسٍ ؟ "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِبَيَادِرَ تُذَرَّى، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكُمُوهُ وَخَوَّلَكُمُوهُ وَفَتَحَهُ لَكُمْ لَمُمْسِكٌ خِزَانَتَهُ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَيٌّ قَدْ كَانُوا يُصْبِحُونَ وَمَا عِنْدَهُمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، فَبِمَ ذَلِكَ يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَبْسٍ

   ✧ I accompanied Salman, and he mentioned the treasures of Kisra and said: The One who gave them to you, bestowed them upon you, and opened them for you will withhold His storehouse. While Muhammad ﷺ was alive, they would wake up with no dinar, no dirham, and no mudd of food—so how is this, O brother of Banu 'Abs? He said: Then he passed by threshing floors being winnowed and said: The One who gave them to you, bestowed them upon you, and opened them for you will withhold His storehouse.

   ✧ O Salman, do not hate me, lest you depart from your religion. I said: O Messenger of God, how could I hate you when through you God guided us? He said: You would hate the Arabs, and thus hate me.

   " مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَادَّهَنَ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ وَتَطَيَّبَ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَلَمْ يُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَصَلَّى، فَإِذَا تَكَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ اسْتَمَعَ وَأَنْصَتَ - غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى

   ✧ Whoever performs ghusl on Friday, anoints himself with his oil, perfumes himself from his household's perfume, then comes to Jumu'ah and does not separate between two people, and prays; and when the imam speaks, he listens and remains silent—he will be forgiven whatever is between that and the next Jumu'ah.
