I know the real reason hehind it! but can you tell readers, why Abu Turab titels had given to H.Ali?
one hint TURAB means Mitti!
It is narrated in a hadith," Once Mowla Ali was unhappy with bibi Fatima ( as usually happens between husband and wife), so he came to masjid e nabwi and slept there. Prophet Muhammad stopped at hujrah of Mowla Ali and inquired about him. Bibi Fatima told Prophet Muhammad that he was unhappy on some issue and left to masjid. When Prophet Muhammad came to masjid area, he found Mowla Ali sleeping on floor and dust of masjid spread on his back. Prophet sat by the side of Mowla Ali, started cleaning his back and kept saying wake up Abu Turab, wake up Abu Turab".
Abu Turab means ' father of dust '. In Ismaili terminology dust is equated to Iman.

In return why ASAD titel was given to H.Ali? Not to mention but I know real reason! But for other reader"s information I suggest you or any one else who knows the reason!
Please put it here because this thread is about ALI.
Mowla Ali's most famous names are ALI, HYDER, AND ASAD. Asad means lion.
Asadullah means lion of Allah. The name of Mowla Murtaza Ali's mother was
bibi Fatima bint Asad bin Hashim bin Abdu Munaf. The name Asad was given by mother of Mowla Ali. She gave this name because her father's name was Asad. Bibi Fatima bint Asad was the cousin sister of Hazrat Abdullah, father of Prophet Muhammad.

The above words are from SIKH'S HOLY BOOKS NAME 'GURBANI"
means "Murtaza Ali is a TIGER of Allah (SHER-E-KHUDA), and this prestige/dignity has been given to him by Allah"'
A piece of information;
In 1970 at time of Pak election, Awami national party under leadership of Shaikh Mujeeb was contesting in late east pak. Their election symbol was KASHTI ( boat ), through out the election time the only Urdu naa'it which radio Dhaka was playing,

Duniya mein aisi aur nigahe karam kahan
Dile se pukaar Ya Ali phir dekh gham kahan
There is none with a beneficent look
Like his in the world.
From the depth of your heart
Call Ali..Then see the sorrows flee
Gardish pukarti rahi mere naseeb ki
Mushkil koi ruki rahe ye usme dam kahan
My whirl of misfortunes kept on calling
But no calamity ventured near
Nor had the strength to withhold.
Jisne Ali kaha to mugaddar gaya
Maula tumahari chaanv mein ranj-o- alam kahan
Whosoever said Ali
His own destiny blossomed
In the shade of your grace, my Master
No sorrow could find a place
Maula naseeb ho gaye un tak pahunch gayi
Royee tu vaah re aye chasm-e-nam kahan
O Master So blessed is is my fortune
That I found myself near you.
I can only thanks these tearful eyes in praise
For where they went and how they wept.
Maula nawaaz den to zamana nawaaz de
Unka karam na ho kisi ka karam kahan
If my Mowla’s grace was given to me
So would the world be given to me
For without his mercy
No other mercy would come my way.

POETRY OF MOWLA ALI (DIWAAN OF ALI IBN ABI TALIB)
Diwaan of Mowla Ali's poetic collection is wonderful and has mystical power, which covers the theme of Hikmah. Like his prose, recorded in NAHJUL BALAGAH, his poems provide morality and decency. We do not find romance in his poetry like that of other poets of the era. The poetry of ALI is the best example for the generations to learn. Ismaili Da'is had discussed the poetry of Mowla Ali in their works. For example, Syedna Abi Hatim Razi (d.322 AH), Hujjat of jazirah Ray (Iran), during the era of Imam Mahdi had discussed a good collection of the verses of Diwaan e Ali in his book " Kitab al Zinah". Later on in Yemen, Da'i Hatim Mohiyuddin (d.596 AH) provided authentic verse in his book "Al Majalis Hatimiyah". Da'i Idris Imaduddin (d.872 AH) recorded a good poetic collection of Mowla Ali in his book " Uyun al Akhbar".
Few examples from the poetry of Mowla Ali:
FAL HAMDU LILLAHI FARDAN LA SHARIKA LAHU
BARRU BIL ABDE WAL BAQI BILA A'MADI
Hamd (praise) for Allah, Who is peerless, and has no partner, Magnanimous upon people and ever living without any end.
ALLAHU AKRAMNA BEY NASARE NABIYEHI
WA BAN'A AQAMA DAEM, AL ISLAMI
Allah granted us honor to help His Nabi, and through us established "Daem'ul Islam", the pillars of Islam. (Qadi Noa'man wrote the famous book Daem' ul Islam).
WA BINA A'ZA NABIYAHU WA KITABAHU
WA A'ZZANA BIN NASARE WAL AQD'AMI
He made us help His Nabi overpower his opponents and spread Quran, and provided us an opportunity to defend him and Islam.
SABAQTUKUM ILAL ISLAMI TURRAN
GHULLAMAN MA BALAGHTU AWANA HULMI
I have leading position over all of you in having responded to the Dawah of Islam from very beginning.
ANAL LAZI SAMMATNI UMMI HAIYDARAH
ZIRGGHAMU A'JAMIN WA LAIYSUN QASWARAH
I am the one, who has been named LION by my mother, such a LION who never turns back until he tears off enemies (of Islam).
AYYU'HAL FAKHIRU JAHLAN BIN NASABI
INNA'MAN N'ASU LI UMMIN WA LI ABBI
Due to narrow mindedness and short understanding you are proud of your lineage and family tree; otherwise for all people there is one mother and one father. ( Mowla Ali was against superiority complex on the ground of family linage. He denounced class conscious and proud people).
INNAMAL FAKHIRU LI AQLIN SABIT'IN
WA HAYA'IN WA AFAF'IN WA ADABI
Only those pious by nature, intellect and high in morals and who are learned have honor and dignity.
INNAL FATA MAYN YAQULU HA ANA'ZA
LAEYSAL FATA MAYN YAQULU KANA ABI
He is the honorable person who says; come and judge my caliber. He is not honorable who says my father was so ans so. ( Mowla Ali was against this notion" PIDRAM SULTAN BUDD", my dad was king or of high rank. Mowla Ali disliked class discrimination and family nepotism. He taught; status and honor is earned and deserved only on the basis of personal learning and achievements).

A QASIDA FROM DIVAN E NASIR KHUSRAW
I chose the Qur'an and the faith of Muhammad,
for that is the choice that was made by Muhammad.
I'm certain by faithfully following these,
my certitude will be like that of Muhammad.
My key for the heavens, my guide to delight,
my fortified castle: the faith of Muhammad!
Muhammad is sent as God's prophet to us:
thus is the imprint of the seal of Muhammad.
The faith, the Qur'an - they are fixed in my heart
just as they were fixed in the heart of Muhammad.
My hope is to be - by the grace of the Lord -
the lowliest one in the folk of Muhammad.
In the ocean of faith you see, the Qur'an
Is the most precious pearl in the hand of Muhammad.
As every kind has a treasure concealed,
thus is the Qur'an: treasure trove of Muhammad!
Muhammad entrusted his treasure and goods
to one person, worthy and close to Muhammad.
Who was such a close friend? He whose dear wife
was none but the darling black-eyed, of Muhammad.
From this darling child and that cousin(Ali) appeared
Hasan and Husayn, letters close to Muhammad.
I know certainly this: Hasan and Husayn
are jasmine and rose in both worlds, of Muhammad.
Where could such a rose and such a jasmine appear
in both worlds but out of the soil of Muhammad!
I don't dare select any one among men
above these two sons, lovely sons of Muhammad;
I would be ashamed of the frown of Muhammad!
The sword of pure Hydar, the mighty Qur'an
are cornerstones of the strong faith of Muhammad,
for he stood as master and with Dhu'l-fiqar
in every fight to the right of Muhammad.
Since 'Ali's sword helped the mighty Qur'an;
'Ali was the helper, no doubt, for Muhammad.
As Aaron to Moses, so was 'Ali in rank
A partner in faith and close to Muhammad.
On Doomsday both Moses and Aaron will kiss
the mantle of 'Ali, the hem of Muhammad.
Muhammad's religion resembled a thicket;
The lion: 'Ali, in the woods of Muhammad.
Muhammad said: 'Go, and seek wisdom in China!'
I went to that China, the land of Muhammad.
I heard from the heir of the Prophet such words
which were like the honey, so sweet, of Muhammad!
I chose the Qur'an and the faith of Muhammad,
for that is the choice that was made by Muhammad.
I'm certain by faithfully following these,
my certitude will be like that of Muhammad.
My key for the heavens, my guide to delight,
my fortified castle: the faith of Muhammad!

JUGNI
PIR MERYA JUGNI KAHE(N)DI EH
SAEEN NAAM ALI DA LAHENDI EH
Jugni is an age-old narrative device used in Punjabi folk music. The word literally means 'Female Firefly'(Jugnu means Fire fly), in folk music it stands in for the poet-writer who uses Jugni as an innocent observer to make incisive, often humorous, sometimes sad but always touching observations. In spiritual poetry Jugni means the spirit of life, or essence of life.
Much of early Jugni writing is spiritual in nature and relates to one's understanding of the world and one's relationship with God. Many poet philosophers have used the Jugni device, which is in the public domain, to make social, political or philosophical, often mildly subversive, commentary. Jugni is cross religious and depending on the writer, invokes the name of God (often using the word "Saeen", the vernacular word for Lord), Ali or the Gurus.
Jugni is just mythical concept that is used for female who is innocent, gorgeous, sweet and simple. This word is usually used by poets and authors and also used in folk songs.

Translation of Farsi Poetry in honor of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib
One night in a gathering, Ali was spoken of, I heard a great wise man say
If Ali's hand is not the hand of God, they why no other hand can solve problems
If you have hellfire under your skin, you will not burn if you have love for Ali
On the day of Judgment when the fire of God's punishment exists, His friendship is a strong protection of the soul
Whoever becomes in love with Ali's house, his heart will become the mirror of Ali's face
On the Day of Judgment, everyone's eyes will be looking in different directions, I will have my gaze and heart towards Ali
Worship of God will not count without the friendship of Ali, to sing divine love is nothing without the essence of Ali
If I receive a long life as of 200 Noahs, All my life without Ali would be nothing
When I look at the ocean I see you Ali, When I look at the desert I see you Ali
Anywhere I look, mountains, desert and land, I see the signs of the greatness of your being Ali

When you feel weary and teary
When you feel blue and black
Turn to Mowla to intercede for you
When you feel sad and in pain
At turns in your working and plans
Turn to Mowla for his helping hands
When your hands are tied and you cry
In any situation or in any condition
Turn to Mowla for help and restoration
When troubles seem to double and multiplied
And you don't know what to do, how to do
Turn to Mowla you will find him helping you

YA AHL BAITI RASULI'LLAHI HUBBAKUM

MO(N) LAM YUSALLI 'ALAYKUM LA SALATA LAHU
O Ahl e Bait of the Prophet, Allah has ordered (faradh) love obligatory for you in the Quran. For your eminence, it is enough to say that who ever does not send salawat upon you, his/her salat (namaz) is not valid.
