حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَى سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا فُلاَنٌ لأَمِيرِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَدْعُو عَلِيًّا عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا قَالَ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَبُو تُرَابٍ فَضَحِكَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا سَمَّاهُ إِلاَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ اسْمٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهُ فَاسْتَطْعَمْتُ الْحَدِيثَ سَهْلاً وَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ كَيْفَ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَاضْطَجَعَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيْنَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ قَالَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ رِدَاءَهُ قَدْ سَقَطَ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَخَلَصَ التُّرَابُ إِلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ التُّرَابَ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَيَقُولُ اجْلِسْ يَا أَبَا تُرَابٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ

  3. his father

A man came to Sahl bin Saʿd and said, "This is so-and-so," meaning the Governor of Medina, "He is calling ʿAli bad names near the pulpit." Sahl asked, "What is he saying?" He (i.e. the man) replied, "He calls him (i.e. ʿAli) Abu Turab." Sahl laughed and said, "By Allah, none but the Prophet ﷺ called him by this name and no name was dearer to ʿAli than this." So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, "O Abu ʿAbbas! How (was this name given to ʿAli)?" Sahl said, "ʿAli 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. ʿAli's) covering sheet had slipped of 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).
