Question: How correct is it to say: “‘Alee Karra-mAllaahu wajhahu” (‘Alee [ibn Abi Taalib], may Allaah honour his face (i.e. him))”?

Response: There is no basis for saying this specifically for ‘Ali رضي الله عنه, rather it is an example of the excessive [love and respect] of the Shee’ah (Raafidhah) towards him.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet ﷺ and his family and his companions.
