He cannot claim: I only intended it allegorically, whereas my intention was not to divorce her. Similarly, when one makes a statement of clear-cut apostasy, such as: O Ali, give us rain, then he becomes an apostate, and his claim that he intended something else would be of no use to him.
I do not agree that a serious issue like dissolving marriage should be treated so lightly that it balances on the utterance of talaq 3-times.This is a lengthy discussion which we cannot afford to discuss here - else we will side track from the subject under discussion.

The way you worded the sentence -- "O' Ali give us rain" certainly appear horrible and blasphemous. --- Even Shia Alim will not condone this.

But Ya Ali madad or Ya rusul-il-lah madad Simply means O' Ali help Or O' Rasool-il-lah help.

As long as the two elements of kufr, are present in the intention,

1) Considering the person in the grave to be a deity
2) Belief that person can give regardless of the will of Allah.

I cannot accept that this is kufr --- I cannot accept that which defies logic.

So I can only move to request from you to produce proof --- from Qur’an and or Authentic Hadith supported by Qur’anic verses.
