English translation

4789. It was narrated from Salm Al-'Alawī, from Anas that a man entered upon the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with marks of saffron on him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ rarely said something to a man's face that he would dislike, but when he went out he said: "Why don't you tell this man to wash this thing off?" (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: Salm was not a relative of 'Alī, but he would gaze at the stars, and he testified before 'Adī bin Arṭah to seeing the crescent, but he did not accept his testimony.[1]

Arabic text

4789 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمٌ الْعَلَوِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَلَّمَا يُوَاجِهُ رَجُلًا فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ: «لَوْ أَمَرْتُمْ هَذَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ذَا عَنْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «سَلْمٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ عَلَوِيًّا، كَانَ يُبْصِرُ فِي النُّجُومِ، وَشَهِدَ عِنْدَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ فَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُ»
