I am using centos 7 if I want to find files that starts with the word image in the directory A
i issue the following command
find /A -name 'image*'
and in order to write the command that find files that have specific name and issued on specific date and let it be 25/10/2017 for example
Iam issuing the command
find -name 'image*' | ls -ali | grep 'Oct 25'
but it greps all files in the folder what is wrong in this command

You command seems wrong, you probably missed the xargs
:
find -name 'image*' | xargs ls -ali | grep 'Oct 25'
without xargs, the ouput of find is just thrown away and you take the ls -ali
of the current directory, which is probably not what you want.
nevertheless find has options to add the date as a search criterion, not sure that’s what you really need, but you may have a look
