Abu Turab: Difference between revisions

Katwari<ref>Katwari, p.113</ref> says: "The first person titled as 'Abu Turab' was [['Ali b. Abi Talib]] (a). When [[the Prophet (s)]] saw him laying on the ground and saw the dust on his clothing and body, he gently and kindly said to him: 'Get up, O' Abu Turab!' and 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (a) liked this title the most. After this incident and because of the Prophet (s), it became a special feature for him, because the dust (earth) told him the news of the past and the future to the [[Day of Resurrection]]."<ref>Amini, ''Volume 6'', pp. 327-328</ref>

In a different ''(hadith)'', it is said: "In the middle of the month of [[Jumada al-Ula]] 2 A.H. (November 623), the Prophet (s) and a group of his companions left [[Medina]] seeking the caravan of [[Quraysh]] led by [[Abu Sufyan]]. They reached a place named 'Ashira but they did not find the caravan. During their stay in 'Ashira, the Prophet (s) encountered 'Ali (a) and [['Ammar]] while they were asleep on soil and there was dust over Ali's face and head. The Prophet (s) gently and kindly woke them up and said to Ali (a): O' Abu Turab! Get up. Do you not want me to tell you who are the most vicious people on earth? One of them is Ihmir (Qadar b. Salif) who killed the she-camel of the Prophet [[Salih]] and the other is the one who hits you on the head by sword and dyes your beard with your blood.'"<ref>Ibn Athir, ''Volume 1'', p. 522; Ibn Shahrashub, ''Volume 3'', p. 133</ref>
