'Certain accursed ones of no significance' is the term used by Taş Köprü Zade in the Şakaiki Numaniye to describe some Hurufis who became intimate with the Sultan Mehmed II to the extent of initiating him as a follower.
This alarmed members of the Ulema, particularly Mahmut Paşa, who then consulted Mevlana Fahreddin. Fahreddin hid in the Sultan's palace and heard the Hurufis propound their doctrines. Considering these heretical, he reviled them with curses. The Hurufis fled to the Sultan, but Fahreddin's denunciation of them was so virulent that Mehmed II was unable to defend them. Farhreddin then took them in front of the Üç Şerefeli Mosque, Edirne, where he publicly condemned them to death. While preparing the fire for their execution, Fahreddin accidentally set fire to his beard. However the Hurufis were burnt to death.
According to Bektashi tradition, Ali Ul 'Ali was one of the 'Certain accursed ones of no significance'
