The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a tree with dry leaves and struck it with his staff, causing the leaves to scatter. He said, "Indeed, 'Praise be to Allah,' 'Glory be to Allah,' 'There is no god but Allah,' and 'Allah is the Greatest' cause sins to fall away from a servant just as the leaves of this tree fall away."
حدثنا محمد بن حميد الرازي حدثنا الفضل بن موسى عن الأعمش
أن رسول الله ﷺ مر بشجرة يابسة الورق فضربها بعصاه فتناثر الورق فقال إن الحمد لله وسبحان الله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر لتساقط من ذنوب العبد كما تساقط ورق هذه الشجرة

[hasan]Takhrij: Abu Naeem also reported it in al-Hilyah, 5/55, from the hadith of Fadl bin Musa, by this chain, and Amash used the term "an" without specifying direct hearing. The hadith has a hasan corroborating narration with Ahmad (3/152) and Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (634).
