Muhammad ____ (3)
I believe the answer is:
ali
'muhammad' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ali that I've seen before include "girl shortly" , "Muhammad ... (former fighter)" , "Mohammad . . ., . . . Hewson" , "Ring' specialist" , "Lepidopterous floater, apian stinger, d. 2016" .)
