[Machine] Ali used to treat his grandfather as a father, which was criticized by some people in Iraq. The authentic saying about Ali is that he used to equate between his grandfather and his brothers, and perhaps he considered him a father in another sense. Allah knows best.
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ كَانَ يَجْعَلُ الْجَدَّ أَبًا فَأَنْكَرَ قَوْلَ عَطَاءٍ ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ الصَّحِيحُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُشْرِكُ بَيْنَ الْجَدِّ وَالْإِخْوَةِ وَلَعَلَّهُ جَعَلَهُ أَبًا فِي حُكْمٍ آخَرَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
