حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمٌ الْعَلَوِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ - وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَلَّمَا يُوَاجِهُ رَجُلاً فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَىْءٍ 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 الْهِلاَلِ فَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُ .
‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar ibn Maysarah narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us: Salm al-‘Alawi narrated to us, from Anas, that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with traces of yellow dye on him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) rarely confronted a man to his face with something he disliked. When the man left, he said, ‘If only you had asked him to wash that off.’ Abu Dawud said: Salm was not an ‘Alawi. He practiced astrology and testified before ‘Adi ibn Artah that the crescent had been sighted, but his testimony was not accepted.
