abudawud:4182ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar b. Maysarah > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Salm al-ʿAlawī > Anas b. Mālik

A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he had the mark of yellowness (of saffron). The Prophet (peace be upon him rarely mentioned a thing which he disliked before a man. When he went away, he said: Would that you tell this man that he should wash this off him.  

أبو داود:٤١٨٢حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمٌ الْعَلَوِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَلَّمَا يُوَاجِهُ رَجُلاً فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَىْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ لَوْ أَمَرْتُمْ هَذَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ هَذَا عَنْهُ

abudawud:4789ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar b. Maysarah > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Salm al-ʿAlawī > Anas

A man who had the mark of yellowness on him came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The apostle of Allah ﷺ rarely mentioned anything of a man which he disliked before him. When he went out, he said: Would that you asked him to wash it from him. Abu Dawud said: Salam is not 'Alawi (from the descendants of 'Ali). He used to foretell events by stars. He bore witness before 'Abi b. Arafat to the visibility of moon, but he did not accept his witness.

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ سَلْمٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ عَلَوِيًّا كَانَ يُبْصِرُ فِي النُّجُومِ وَشَهِدَ عِنْدَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلاَلِ فَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُ
nasai-kubra:9994Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Salm al-ʿAlawī > Anas

[Machine] Once, a man entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his companions, and he had a yellow stain on his garment. When he got up, the Prophet ﷺ said to one of his companions, "If you command him to remove this." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never confronted anyone directly about anything.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٩٩٤أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَلْمٍ الْعَلَوِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ «لَوْ أَمَرْتُمْ هَذَا أَنْ يَدَعَ هَذَا» قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُوَاجِهُ أَحَدًا فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَيْءٍ
