Hadith text

Narrated Abu Hazim:A man came to Sahl bin Sa`d and said, "This is so-and-so," meaning the Governor of Medina, "He is calling `Ali bad names near the pulpit." Sahl asked, "What is he saying?" He (i.e. the man) replied, "He calls him (i.e. `Ali) Abu Turab." Sahl laughed and said, "By Allah, none but the Prophet (ﷺ) called him by this name and no name was dearer to `Ali than this." So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, "O Abu `Abbas! How (was this name given to `Ali)?" Sahl said, "`Ali went to Fatima and then came out and slept in the Mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked Fatima, "Where is your cousin?" She said, "In the Mosque." The Prophet (ﷺ) went to him and found that his (i.e. `Ali's) covering sheet had slipped off his back and dust had soiled his back. The Prophet (ﷺ) started wiping the dust off his back and said twice, "Get up! O Abu Turab (i.e. O. man with the dust)

Abu Hazim bataate hain: Ek shaks Sahl bin Sa'd ke paas aaya aur kaha, "Yeh falaan hai," Madina ke gawarnar ka zikar karte huye, "woh mimbar ke qareeb Ali ko buri baaten kah rahe hain." Sahl ne pucha, "Woh kya kah rahe hain?" Usne jawab diya, "Woh unhe Abu Turab kahte hain." Sahl haanse aur kaha, "Allah ki qasam, sirf Nabi ne unhe is naam se pukara, aur Ali ko is se pyara koi naam nahi tha." Isliye maine Sahl se aur batane ko kaha, "Aye Abu Abbas! Kaise (yeh naam Ali ko mila)?" Sahl ne kaha, "Ali Fatima ke paas gaye aur phir bahar aakar masjid mein so gaye. Nabi ne Fatima se pucha, 'Tumhare chachere bhai kahaan hain?' Unhone kaha, 'Masjid mein.' Nabi unke paas gaye aur paaya ke unki odhne wali chaadar unki peeth se sarak gaee thi aur dhool unki peeth par lagi thi. Nabi unki peeth se dhool ponchhne lage aur do baar kaha, 'Utho! Aye Abu Turab (yaani dhool wale shaks)!'"
