[6229] 38 - (2409) It was narrated that Saḥl bin Sa’d said: “A man from the family of Marwān was appointed as governor of Al-Madinah, and he called Sahl bin Sa'd and ordered him to insult 'Ali, but Sa'd refused. He said: 'If you refuse to do it, then at least say: "May Allāh curse Abū At-Turāb."' Sahl said: 'No name is dearer to 'Ali than Abū At-Turāb, and he used to feel happy when he was called by it.' He said: 'Tell us his story; why was he called Abū At-Turāb?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to the house of Fāṭimah and he did not find 'Ali in the house. He said: "Where is the son of your uncle?" She said: "There was something between him and I, and he got angry with me and went out; he did not take a nap in my house." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to someone: "Go and look where he is." He came and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, by Allāh, he is in the Masjid, sleeping." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to him and he was lying down. His cloak had fallen from his back and he had gotten dusty. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ started wiping it from him, saying: "Get up, Abū At-Turāb, get up Abū At-Turāb."
