[Machine] I was with Salman al-Farsi under a tree, and he took a dry branch from its branches and shook it until its leaves fell. Then he said, "Ask me why I did this, O Salman." So I said, "Why did you do it?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did the same. I was with him under a tree, and he took a dry branch from its branches and shook it until its leaves fell. Then he said, 'Don't you ask me why I did this, O Salman?' So I said, 'Why did you do it?' He said, 'Indeed, when a Muslim performs ablution and perfects it, then prays the five daily prayers, his sins are shaken off just as these leaves are shaken off.' Then he recited this verse, 'Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.'"
كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ غُصْنًا مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا يَابِسًا فَهَزَّهُ حَتَّى تَحَاتَّ وَرَقُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَلْنِي لِمَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ وَلِمَ تَفْعَلُهُ؟ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ غُصْنًا مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا يَابِسًا فَهَزَّهُ حَتَّى تَحَاتَّ وَرَقُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا تَسْأَلُنِي لِمَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا يَا سَلْمَانُ؟» فَقُلْتُ وَلِمَ تَفْعَلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ تَحَاتَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ كَمَا تَحَاتَّ هَذَا الْوَرَقُ» ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ}
