Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person asked Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) to narrate a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He replied, "You people attribute lies to me as you do to others. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whenever any Muslim performs a prostration for the sake of Allah's pleasure, Allah raises him one degree and forgives one of his sins.'"
