Sirat Ibn Hisham 688
[ تَكْنِيَةُ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ لِعَلِيِّ بِأَبِي تُرَابٍ ] وَفِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَا قَالَ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَيْثَمٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَيْثَمٍ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَفِيقَيْنِ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْعُشَيْرَةِ؛ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَقَامَ بِهَا؛ رَأَيْنَا أُنَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي عَيْنٍ لَهُمْ وَفِي نَخْلٍ؛ فَقَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ، هَلْ لَكَ فِي أَنْ تَأْتِيَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ، فَنَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلُونَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إنْ شِئْتَ؛ قَالَ: فَجِئْنَاهُمْ، فَنَظَرْنَا إلَى عَمَلِهِمْ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ غَشِيَنَا النَّوْمُ. فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَعَلِيٌّ حَتَّى اضْطَجَعْنَا فِي صُورٍ مِنْ النَّخْلِ، وَفِي دَقْعَاءَ مِنْ التُّرَابِ فَنِمْنَا، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا أَهَبَّنَا إلَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، ﷺ يُحَرِّكُنَا بِرِجْلِهِ. وَقَدْ تَتَرَّبْنَا مِنْ تِلْكَ الدَّقْعَاءِ الَّتِي نِمْنَا فِيهَا، فَيَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا تُرَابٍ ؟ لِمَا يَرَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ التُّرَابِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمَا بِأَشْقَى النَّاسِ رَجُلَيْنِ ؟ قُلْنَا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أُحَيْمِرُ ثَمُودٍ الَّذِي عَقَرَ النَّاقَةَ، وَاَلَّذِي يَضْرِبُكَ يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَى هَذِهِ - وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى قَرْنِهِ - حَتَّى يَبُلَّ مِنْهَا هَذِهِ. وَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إنَّمَا سَمَّى عَلِيًّا أَبَا تُرَابٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إذَا عَتَبَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ فِي شَيْءٍ لَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهَا شَيْئًا تَكْرَهُهُ، إلَّا أَنَّهُ يَأْخُذُ تُرَابًا فَيَضَعُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إذَا رَأَى عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ عَاتِبٌ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا تُرَابٍ ؟ فَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ
Translation
✧ [The Prophet ﷺ giving ʿAlī the kunyah Abū Turāb] And in that expedition he said to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib ﷺ what he said. Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Muḥammad b. Khaytham al-Muḥāribī narrated to me, from Muḥammad b. Kaʿb al-Quraẓī, from Muḥammad b. Khaytham Abī Yazīd, from ʿAmmār b. Yāsir, who said: ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib and I were companions in the expedition of al-ʿUshayrah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ encamped there and stayed, we saw some people of Banū Mudlij working at a spring of theirs and in a palm-grove. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib said to me: 'O Abu al-Yaqẓān, would you like to go to those people so we can see how they work?' I said: 'If you wish.' He said: 'So we went to them and watched their work for a while, then sleep overcame us. ʿAlī and I went and lay down in a palm-grove, on soft, fine soil, and slept. By Allah, nothing woke us but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moving us with his foot. We had become dusty from that soft soil in which we had slept. That day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib: 'What is with you, O Abū Turāb?' because of the dust he saw on him. Then he said: 'Shall I not tell you of the two most wretched of men?' We said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'The ruddy one of Thamūd who hamstrung the she-camel, and the one who will strike you, O ʿAlī, on this'—and he placed his hand on the top of his head—'until this becomes wet from it.' And he took hold of his beard. Ibn Isḥāq said: Some people of knowledge have narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ʿAlī Abū Turāb only because, when he was angry with Fāṭimah about something, he would not speak to her or say anything she disliked, except that he would take some dust and put it on his head. He said: So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw dust on him, he knew that he was angry with Fāṭimah, and would say: 'What is with you, O Abū Turāb?' But Allah knows best which of these it was.
