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

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, he used to look towards elevation (height), because the stars are indeed in the heights. For this reason, by attributing it to elevation, it was called ‘Alawi’.
