The news of my fasting was mentioned to the Prophet . So he entered upon me and I put for him a
leather cushion stuffed with palm-fibres. The Prophet sat on the floor and the cushion was between
me and him. He said to me, “Isn’t it sufficient for you (that you fast) three days a month?” I said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! (I can fast more than this).” He said, “You may fast) five days a month.” I said, “O Al –
lah’s Apostle! (I can fast more than this).” He said, “(You may fast) seven days.” I said, “O Allah’s
Apostle!” He said, “Nine.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “Eleven.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle!” He
said, “No fasting is superior to the fasting of (the Prophet David) which was one half of a year, and he
used, to fast on alternate days. (See Hadith No. 300, Vol 3)

‘Alaqama went to Sham and came to the mosque and offered a two-Rak’at prayer, and invoked Al –
lah: “O Allah! Bless me with a (pious) good companion.” So he sat beside Abu Ad-Darda’ who asked,
“From where are you?” He said, “From the people of Kufa.” Abu Darda’ said, “Wasn’t there among you
the person who keeps the secrets (of the Prophet ) which nobody knew except him (i.e., Hudhaifa
(bin Al-Yaman)). And isn’t there among you the person whom Allah gave refuge from Satan through
the request (tongue) of Allah’s Apostle? (i.e., ‘Ammar). Isn’t there among you the one who used to
carry the Siwak and the cushion (or pillows (of the Prophets)? (i.e., Ibn Mas’ud). How did Ibn Mas’ud
use to recite ‘By the night as it conceals (the light)?” (Sura 92). ‘Alqama said, “Wadhdhakari Wal Un –
tha’ (And by male and female.”) Abu Ad-Darda added. ‘These people continued to argue with me re –
garding it till they were about to cause me to have doubts although I heard it from Allah’s Apostle “

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 297:
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)
