How to address Hz. Ali (RA)

[Pagluu]

@sNOVA

did the imams ever countenance such tawasul? cite any hadith or quotation from Nahjul-balagha or sayings of any other imams. im not suggesting anything yet. just interested whether this practise was recommended by the imams. also what do you say about the supplication of Nade-Ali which goes as follows:

Call Ali! Call Ali!
Call aloud to Ali!
Who is the epiphanic source of wonders
You shall surely find him helping in your troubles
All grief and anxiety will disappear
By Your power and Authority!
O Ali! O Ali! O Ali!

Was this supplication of the imams?
