أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُعَيْطِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَعْدَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيُّ قَالَ:

لَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ - أَوْ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ - قَالَ: فَأَسْكَتَ عَنِّي ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ؛ فَقَالَ: عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً

✧ I met Thawban, the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and said to him: "Guide me to a deed by which Allah will benefit me – or admit me to Paradise." He said: He remained silent for a while, then turned to me and said: "You should prostrate, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'There is no servant who prostrates to Allah a single prostration except that Allah raises him a degree thereby and wipes away a sin thereby.'"
