'''Ābār ʿAlī''' ({{ia|آبار علي}}), an area covered with date palm groves in the south of [[Medina]] having water wells which attributed to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. This area was in the old Medina-[[Mecca]] route and now is located in the new Medina-Mecca highway. It is said that it was named Abar 'Ali since Imam 'Ali (a), who did not have a position in the time of the three first caliphs, dug some wells in this area for the pilgrims of [[hajj]] and other people. One of the contemporary [[Sunni]] scholars attributed 'Abar 'Ali to 'Ali b. Dinar, the sultan of Darfur, south of [[Sudan]]; but mentioning the name of 'Abar 'Ali in the Muslim sources before 'Ali b. Dinar's travel to Mecca rejects this claim.

One of the contemporary Sunni scholars in [[Egypt]], not referring to any source, has attributed Abar 'Ali to 'Ali b. Dinar, the sultan of Darfur, south of [[Sudan]]]; he has rejected the verity of its attribution to 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a). in his view, 'Ali b. Dinar rebuilt the water wells of [[Dhu l-Hulayfa]] during his hajj travel in 1898/1315 AH, since then the area was named Abar 'Ali after him,<ref>See: http://www.yabdoo.com, http://www.ibtesama.com http://www.sohbanej.com, http://www.daralansar.com.</ref> but since Abar 'Ali was mentioned in the sources which were written before the hajj travel of 'Ali b. Dinar, this view is not accepted.
