Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
There was no name dearer to ‘Ali than his nickname Abu Turab (the father of dust). He used to feel
happy whenever he was called by this name. Once Allah’s Apostle came to the house of Fatima but
did not find ‘Ali in the house. So he asked “Where is your cousin?” She replied, “There was something
(a quarrel) between me and him whereupon he got angry with me and went out without having a
midday nap in my house.” Allah’s Apostle asked a person to look for him. That person came, and said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! He (Ali) is sleeping in the mosque.” So Allah’s Apostle went there and found him
lying. His upper body cover had fallen off to one side of his body, and so he was covered with dust.
Allah’s Apostle started cleaning the dust from him, saying, “Get up, O Abu Turab! Get up, Abu
Turab!” (See Hadith No. 432, Vol 1)

some of his sweat and hair and collect it (the sweat) in a bottle and then mix it with Suk (a kind of
perfume) while he was still sleeping. “When the death of Anas bin Malik approached, he advised that
some of that Suk be mixed with his Hanut (perfume for embalming the dead body), and it was mixed
with his Hanut.
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 299:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle went to Quba, he used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan who would offer
him meals; and she was the wife of ‘Ubada bin As-samit. One day he went to her house and she
offered him a meal, and after that he slept, and then woke up smiling. She (Um Haram) said, “I asked
him, ‘What makes you laugh, O Allah’s Apostle?’ He said, ‘Some people of my followers were dis –
played before me as warriors fighting for Allah’s Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on thrones,’ or
said, ‘like kings on thrones.’ (The narrator, Ishaq is in doubt about it.) I (Um Haram) said, ‘O Allah’s
Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.’ He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his
head and slept again and then woke up smiling. I asked, ‘What makes you laugh, O Allah’s Apostle?’
He said, ‘Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah’s
Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on the thrones,’ or said, ‘like kings on the thrones.’ I (Um
Haram) said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.’ He said, You will be
amongst the first ones.” It is said that Um Haram sailed over the sea at the time of Muawiya, and on
coming out of the sea, she fell down from her riding animal and died.
