The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Ali b. Abu Talib was a bit short, had dark skin, big eyes, a dense and large beard, and a nice face; when he smiled, his teeth would appear. He had some nicknames like “al-Murtaza” (the Chosen one) and “Asadullahil-ghalib” (Victorious Lion of Allah) along with the nickname “Abu Turab” (Father of Soil) given to him by the Prophet (pbuh). Since he did not worship idols when he was a child, he was mentioned with the following prayer afterwards: “Karramallahu wajhah” (May Allah honor his face).
