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.

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 displayed 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, 'Is-haq 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.'

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.

When he saw her, he welcomed her, saying, Welcome, O my daughter! Then he made her sit on his right or his left, confided something to her, whereupon she wept bitterly. When he noticed her sorrow, he confided something else to her for the second time, and she started laughing. Only I from among the Prophet's wives said to her, (O Fatima), Allah's Apostle selected you from among us for the secret talk and still you weep? When Allah's Apostle got up (and went away), I asked her, What did he confide to you? She said, I wouldn't disclose the secrets of Allah's Apostle But when he died I asked her, I beseech you earnestly by what right I have on you, to tell me (that secret talk which the Prophet had with you) She said, As you ask me now, yes, (I will tell you). She informed me, saying, When he talked to me secretly the first time, he said that Gabriel used to review the Qur'an with him once every year. He added, 'But this year he reviewed it with me twice, and therefore I think that my time of death has approached. So, be afraid of Allah, and be patient, for I am the best predecessor for you (in the Hereafter).' Fatima added, So I wept as you (`Aisha) witnessed. And when the Prophet saw me in this sorrowful state, he confided the second secret to me saying, 'O Fatima! Will you not be pleased that you will be chief of all the believing women (or chief of the women of this nation i.e. my followers? )
