Hadith text

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:There was no name dearer to `Ali than his nickname Abu Turab (the father of dust). He used to feel happy whenever he was called by this name. Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to the house of Fatima but did not find `Ali in the house. So he asked "Where is your cousin?" She replied, "There was something (a quarrel) between me and him whereupon he got angry with me and went out without having a midday nap in my house." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked a person to look for him. That person came, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He (Ali) is sleeping in the mosque." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went there and found him lying. His upper body cover had fallen off to one side of his body, and so he was covered with dust. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started cleaning the dust from him, saying, "Get up, O Abu Turab! Get up, Abu Turab!" (See Hadith No. 432, Vol)

Sahl bin Sa'd bataate hain: Ali ke liye koi naam unke laqab 'Abu Turab' (mitti ke baap) se zyaada pyaara nahi tha. Wo hamesha khush hote jab unhein isse pukaara jaata. Ek baar Allah ke Rasool (SAW) Fatima ke ghar aaye magar Ali ko ghar mein nahi paaya. To unhone pucha, 'Tumhaara chachazaad kahaan hai?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Mere aur unke beech kuch (jhagda) hua tha, isper wo mujhse gussa hokar bina meri jagah dophar ki neend liye baahar chale gaye.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kisi se kaha ke unhein dhoondein. Wo shaks aaya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Wo (Ali) Masjid mein so rahe hain.' To Allah ke Rasool (SAW) wahaan gaye aur unhein leta hua paaya. Unka oopari kapda ek taraf gir gaya tha, isliye wo mitti se dhaka hua the. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) unse mitti saaf karne lage, kehte hue, 'Utho, Aye Abu Turab! Utho, Abu Turab!' (Poori tafseel ke liye Hadees No. 432, Jild 2 dekhein.)
