My name in the Bible is ‘ILIYA’, in the Torah is ‘BARI’, in the Zaboor is ‘ERI’. Indians know my name as ‘KAABER’, Romans know me as ‘BIT’RISA’ Persians know me as ‘JOBEIR’, Turks know me as ‘TABIR’, blacks know me as ‘HEYTAR’, Priests know me as ‘BUSI’, Abyssinians know me as ‘BITRIK’, My Mother knows me as ‘HEYDARA’, Arabs know me as ‘ALI’, Armenians know me as ‘FAREEQ’, and my father knows me as ‘ZAHEER’.
This is well refered hadith but can’t comment anything on its authenticity!

Another narration of Imam Ali (as) being mentioned in earlier books:
يا علي ذكرك في التوراة وذكر شيعتك قبل أن يخلقوا بكل خير، وكذلك في الانجيل. فاسأل أهل الانجيل وأهل الكتاب يخبروك عن “إليا” مع علمك بالتوراة والانجيل وما أعطاك الله عز وجل من علم الكتاب، وإن أهل الإنجيل ليتعاظمون إليا وما يعرفون شيعته، وإنما يعرفونهم بما يجدونه في كتبهم
Prophet Muhammad (saww) said:
“O Ali, your mention is in the Torah and the mention of your Shia before they were created with all goodness, as well as in the Gospel. So ask the people of the Gospel and the People of the Book, they will inform you about ‘Eli’ with your knowledge of the Torah and the Gospel and what Allah Almighty has given you of the knowledge of the Book. Indeed, the people of the Gospel magnify Eli, but they do not know his Shia, rather they know them by what they find in their own books.”
