The saying of 'Ali (may Allah honor his face)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: To what extent is it prescribed to say "Ali (may Allah honor his face)"? Is it prescribed to single him out with this phrase?
Answer:
No. He (may Allah be pleased with him) was like his brothers among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all). One does not say "peace be upon him" for him, as the Shi'ah do; rather, one says "may Allah be pleased with him."
