The ruling on saying "O Face of Allah" when expressing surprise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. It is common for the general public to say "O Face of Allah" when expressing surprise at certain matters. They do not intend to make a supplication, but rather intend to express surprise. Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, this is not appropriate. One does not address an attribute by saying "O Face of Allah." This is an invocation, and it is not permissible.
