    1. It is half of a sentence uttered by Muhammad in a battle, spoken after his main guy Ali used his badass sword (given to him by Muhammad) to split the shield and helmet of a fierce opponent.
      The full sentence reads:
      lā fata ʾillā ʿAlī; lā sayf ʾillā Ḏū l-Fiqār.
      "There is no hero like Ali; There is no sword like Dhu-l-Fiqar"
      I guess it could be used as slang to prop up your friend Ali, if you have one :)
