Abu Dhar رضي الله عنه narrates that once Rasoolullah ﷺ came out of his house. It was autumn and the leaves were falling off the trees.
He caught a branch of a tree and its leaves began to drop in large number.
At this he remarked, 'O, Abu Dhar! when a Muslim offers his salat to please Allah, his sins are shed away from him just as these leaves are falling off this tree. (Ahmad)
