Imam Ali (a.s) is Dabbatul Ardh
Thiqatul Islam Kulaini has narrated through his chains of narrators from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that Amirul Momineen Ali (a.s) said: “I am the supervisor for Allah over Paradise and Hell. No one would go to either of them without my supervision. I am the greatest criterion and the Imam for those after me and the provider of relief for those before me. No one is permitted to be ahead of me except Prophet Muhammad (saw). I and he are on the same path except that his and my names are different. I have been given six things:
1- I have been given the knowledge of deaths and sufferings
2- I am commanded to adjudicate.
3- I have to arrive in the world a number of times.
4- I have to form many governments.
5- I am the owner of the staff and the seal.
6- And I am that living being (Dabba) that would speak to the people before Judgment Day.”1
1 Al-Kafi, Vol. 1, Pg. 198.
Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) said: A man asked Ammar bin Yasir, “O Aba Yaqzaan, there is a verse in the book of Allah that has destroyed my heart and has put me into doubt. Ammar said: “Which verse is that?” That man said: “It is when Almighty Allah says:
“And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth…” (Surah Naml 27:82.)
“What Daabba is it?”
Ammar said: “By Allah, I will not sit, eat or drink anything till I show it to you.”
Then taking that man with him he went to Amirul Momineen (a). His Eminence was partaking dates and butter. He said to Ammar: “Come forward, O Aba Yaqzaan!” Ammar sat down and began to share in the eatables.
That man was surprised and when Ammar arose, he exclaimed: Glory be to God! O Aba Yaqzaan! You had vowed that you would not eat, drink or sleep till you showed me that (Daabbatul Ardh)!
Ammar said: “If you ponder, you would understand that I have showed him to you.”
That is: You have seen Hazrat Ali (a) and only he is the Dabba.2

The event of Nauchandi Jumerat mentioned refers to the first Thursday after the new moon of each lunar month if i’m right.
It is to be noted that Thursdays in general have had a special spiritual status and significance in south asian cultures on which people used to hold special gatherings. Over time, however, the cultural observance was adapted into the Shia practics and it became a day to honor the memory of the AhlulBayt (a.s) and to hold Majalis in order to commemorate the sacrifices of Prophet Muhammad (saw)’s family.
While, it may not have originally been a Shia event, it eventually became one.
And personally, what I think is that such a day, even if it wasn’t originally a Shia oriented day, should be observed as it is in the memory of the Pure AhlulBayt (a.s) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).
