Ali had no name dearer to him than Abu Turab, and he would be delighted whenever he was called by it.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the house of Fatimah, peace be upon her, and did not find Ali at home. He asked, "Where is your cousin?"She replied, "Something happened between him and me. He became angry with me and went out, and he did not take his midday rest with me."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to someone, "Go and see where he is."The man came back and said, "Messenger of Allah, he is lying down in the mosque."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went there and found him stretched out, his cloak having slipped off his side so that dust had gotten on him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began wiping the dust off him, saying, "Get up, Abu Turab. Get up, Abu Turab."
حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا عبد العزيز بن أبي حازم عن أبي حازم
ما كان لعلي اسم أحب إليه من أبي تراب وإن كان ليفرح به إذا دعي بها جاء رسول الله ﷺ بيت فاطمة عليها السلام فلم يجد عليا في البيت فقال أين ابن عمك فقالت كان بيني وبينه شيء فغاضبني فخرج فلم يقل عندي فقال رسول الله ﷺ لإنسان انظر أين هو فجاء فقال يا رسول الله هو في المسجد راقد فجاء رسول الله ﷺ وهو مضطجع قد سقط رداؤه عن شقه فأصابه تراب فجعل رسول الله ﷺ يمسحه عنه وهو يقول قم أبا تراب قم أبا تراب
