On the authority of Ibn Sa’d, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: “The best name ‘ Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, loved was Abu Turaab. He was given this name because one day his wife Faatimah made him angry, so he left her, went to the mosque and lay down near a wall. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went to him, and found his back covered with dust. He wiped his back and said. “Sit up, father of dust.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.)
