As relatives sat around discussing the matter at a property in Sparkhill, Birmingham, Ali was filmed on a mobile phone losing his temper and wielding the blade.
He then stabbed Mr Khan 11 times and other family members were injured as they tried in vain to stop the attack, which eventually spilled out onto the street.
Police were called to the property and chilling body-cam footage captured the blood-smeared walls as officers entered to confront Ali, who was still brandishing the knife.
He calmly tells officers: ‘It’s a knife, from my home…I did it. Yeah.’
Ali, of Balsall Heath, Birmingham, is now facing life behind bars after being convicted on Thursday of murder and three counts of wounding with intent.
Birmingham Crown Court was told how the brutal stabbing occurred after a row over Ali being given the land by his aunt last summer.

Mr Khan – who is also Ali’s brother-in-law – felt the land and a series of properties worth around £200,000 should have been returned to his mother.
Jurors were told the land was owned by their granddad who had passed away and left it to Mr Khan’s mother.
She decided to transfer it over to her nephew, Ali but her sons wanted to discuss how unfair they thought this was.
The Khan family sought advice from a close family friend and he agreed to act as a mediator that evening.
One of Mr Khan’s brothers decided to record the meeting and all was going well, until Ali got angry over a comment previously made about his father.
It was at this point that Ali launched the violent attack, producing a knife from his pocket and launching at him continuously.
CCTV enquiries later showed Mr Khan and his brothers staggering out of the house and into the road, before collapsing from their injuries.

Following the verdict, Mr Khan’s family paid tribute in a statement and said: ‘Today justice has finally been done and the murderer of our beloved Ash has been convicted for his horrendous crimes.
‘In this we take great comfort, but no prison sentence will ever replace this great man who was the bed rock of our family and who was loved by so many.
‘Sadly some in our family were envious of him and that envy lead to his horrific cold blooded murder.
‘Today he has been forced to answer for his crimes, but his true trial is yet to come on Judgement Day before Allah where there will be no hiding and in this we take great comfort.
‘Thankfully the mobile phone and CCTV footage doesn’t lie and whilst we as a family had to suffer the ordeal of seeing this replayed over many times during the trial, it was a necessary ordeal to endure in our search for the truth.
‘Ash’s murder has impacted on so many people but we are not broken by this ordeal, we are stronger because of it.
‘We are not consumed with hatred instead we are filled with extra love and compassion for those that have been left behind and we are united in support for one another.
‘Rest in peace Ash in the knowledge that the truth has now been exposed and in the sure and certain knowledge that Nadir will have to serve his sentence and answer to his crime.’
Detective Inspector Nick Barnes, from West Midlands Police, said: ‘This tragic death was caused over a family disagreement and it’s so upsetting to see that it ended in such an horrific way.
‘Ali thought it was acceptable to walk around with knives which he was clearly planning to use if he saw fit.
‘Today’s conviction is a sad reminder around the dangers of knife crime and although offers some justice to those involved, it is bittersweet as it has left the family torn apart.’
