Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, why is it said "May Allah honor his face" when mentioning 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but not for the other Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)?
Answer:
This is not acceptable. Singling out 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with "May Allah honor his face" or "peace be upon him" is a slogan of the Shi'ah. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is to be addressed in the same way as his brothers among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). This is what is prescribed.
