Hadith 634
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَبِيعَةَ سِنَانٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُصْنًا فَنَفَضَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَفِضْ ، ثُمَّ نَفَضَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَفِضْ ، ثُمَّ نَفَضَهُ فَانْتَفَضَ ، قَالَ : ”إِنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ ، وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ، يَنْفُضْنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا تَنْفُضُ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took hold of a branch and shook it, but its leaves did not fall. Then he shook it again, but its leaves still did not fall. Then, when he shook it a third time, the leaves fell. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “«سبحان الله، الحمد لله، لا إله إلا الله» shake off sins just as the leaves of a tree fall.”
