حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمٌ الْعَلَوِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَلَّمَا يُوَاجِهُ رَجُلًا فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَيْئٍ يَکْرَهُهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ لَوْ أَمَرْتُمْ هَذَا أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ذَا عَنْهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد سَلْمٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ عَلَوِيًّا کَانَ يُبْصِرُ فِي النُّجُومِ وَشَهِدَ عِنْدَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَلَی رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ فَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4789
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man who had the mark of yellowness on him came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger 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 bin Arafat to the visibility of moon, but he did not accept his witness.
