[Machine] A conversation occurred between Ali and Fatima. Ali became angry and threw himself onto the ground. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked Fatima about it and she said that they had a discussion and he left angry. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went out and found Ali sleeping on the ground. He woke him up and began wiping the dirt off his back, saying "You are indeed the father of dirt." Sahl ibn Sa'd said, "We used to praise him with this, but when some people started using it as an insult."

وَقَعَ بَيْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ ؓ كَلَامٌ فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ مُغْضَبًا فَأَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ عَلَى التُّرَابِ فَسَأَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ كَلَامٌ فَخَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَهُ نَائِمًا عَلَى التُّرَابِ فَأَيْقَظَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ التُّرَابَ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ أَبُو تُرَابٍ» قَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ «كُنَّا نَمْدَحُهُ بِهَا فَإِذَا أُنَاسٌ يَعِيبُونَهُ بِهَا»
