495/634 عن أنس بن مالك قال: أخذ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غصنا فنفضه، فلم ينتفض، ثم نفضه فلم ينتفض، ثم نفضه فانتفض(2) قال: " إن سبحان الله، والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله، ينفضن الخطايا، كما تنفض الشجرة ورقها ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took hold of a branch and shook it, but its leaves did not fall. Then he shook it again, but still its leaves did not fall. Then, when he shook it a third time, its leaves fell. He said: «سبحان الله ، الحمد لله ، لا اله الاالله» Sins are shaken off in this way, just as a tree sheds its leaves.
