Abu Turab
Abū Turāb () or "Father of Dust", is a title attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Muslim Caliph and first Imam of Islam. According to narrations the title was given to Ali by Muhammad, when he found Ali sleeping while covered with dust. Abu Turab means "Father of Soil". There is a verse in Quran that says,' Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!" ' the title Abu Turab recalls  the moment when Muhammad entered a mosque and saw Ali lying asleep where it was full of dirt, and Muhammad told him, "O Abu Turab, get up." According to Vaglieri this title might have been given to him by his enemies, and fictitious narrations have emerged in the following centuries to give this title an honorable appearance. Some scholars has interpreted this verse by that tradition and also another tradition in which Muhammad has said, 'Ali and I are the father of this People[ i.e., Muslims ].' The earliest extant source where this nickname for ʿAli b. Abī Ṭālib appears is  in George of Reshʿaina in 680 AD. The father of soil , Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS).
