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 denounciation of them was so virulent that Mehmed II was unable to defend them. Farhreddin then took them in front of the Üç Serefeli Mosque, Edirne, where he publicly condemned them to death. While preparing the fire for their execution, Fahreddin accidently 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'
