6280. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: There was no name dearer to 'Alī than his nick-name Abū Turāb (the father of dust). He used to feel happy whenever he was called by this name. Once Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to the house of Fāṭima عليها السلام but did not find 'Alī in the house. So he asked "Where is your cousin?" She replied, "There was something (a quarrel) between us whereupon he got angry with me and went out without having a midday nap in my house." Allāh's Messenger asked a person to look for him. That person came, and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! He ('Alī) is sleeping in the mosque.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ went there and found him lying. His Ridā (upper body cover-sheet) had fallen down to one side of his body, and so he was covered with dust. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ started cleaning the dust from him, saying, “Get up, O Abu Turāb! Get up, Abū Turāb!” [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 441]

6280 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: مَا كَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ اسْمٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَبِي تُرَابٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَفْرَحُ بِهِ إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهَا، جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عَلِيًّا فِي البَيْتِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ» فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَغَاضَبَنِي فَخَرَجَ فَلَمْ يَقِلْ عِنْدِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِإِنْسَانٍ: «انْظُرْ أَيْنَ هُوَ» فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ فِي المَسْجِدِ رَاقِدٌ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ، قَدْ سَقَطَ رِدَاؤُهُ عَنْ شِقِّهِ فَأَصَابَهُ تُرَابٌ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «قُمْ أَبَا تُرَابٍ، قُمْ أَبَا تُرَابٍ»
