Narrated Ibrahim: 'Alaqama went to Sham and came to the mosque and offered a two-rak`at prayer, and invoked Allah: 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 Untha' (And by male and female. ) Abu Ad-Darda added. 'These people continued to argue with me regarding it till they were about to cause me to have doubts although I heard it from Allah's Apostle.

Read More..Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: 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)

Anas added, When the Prophet had slept, she would take 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.
