Asmaul Husnaa

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I have a question relating to virtues of Asma ul Husna. I have been using information on the link below and have been asked about reference to information. I am not 100% sure about exact reference as this is not quoted on the web page. Please can you guide me on virtues of each of the 99 names of Allah SWT with reference of which Hadith or verses of Qur’an the information has come from as I feel that I may have shared false information and feeling really bad about it.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You have not provided the link.

Allah Taa’la mentions in the Quran:

 وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا

Translation: And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them”. Surah A’raf (180)

It is mentioned in a Hadith:

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ، هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ المَلِكُ القُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ المُؤْمِنُ المُهَيْمِنُ العَزِيزُ الجَبَّارُ المُتَكَبِّرُ الخَالِقُ البَارِئُ المُصَوِّرُ الغَفَّارُ القَهَّارُ الوَهَّابُ الرَّزَّاقُ الفَتَّاحُ العَلِيمُ القَابِضُ البَاسِطُ الخَافِضُ الرَّافِعُ المُعِزُّ المُذِلُّ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ الحَكَمُ العَدْلُ اللَّطِيفُ الخَبِيرُ الحَلِيمُ العَظِيمُ الغَفُورُ الشَّكُورُ العَلِيُّ الكَبِيرُ الحَفِيظُ المُقِيتُ الحَسِيبُ الجَلِيلُ الكَرِيمُ الرَّقِيبُ المُجِيبُ الوَاسِعُ الحَكِيمُ الوَدُودُ المَجِيدُ البَاعِثُ الشَّهِيدُ الحَقُّ الوَكِيلُ القَوِيُّ المَتِينُ الوَلِيُّ الحَمِيدُ المُحْصِي المُبْدِئُ المُعِيدُ المُحْيِي المُمِيتُ الحَيُّ القَيُّومُ الوَاجِدُ المَاجِدُ الوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ القَادِرُ المُقْتَدِرُ المُقَدِّمُ المُؤَخِّرُ الأَوَّلُ الآخِرُ الظَّاهِرُ البَاطِنُ الوَالِيَ المُتَعَالِي البَرُّ التَّوَّابُ المُنْتَقِمُ العَفُوُّ الرَّءُوفُ مَالِكُ المُلْكِ ذُو الجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، المُقْسِطُ الجَامِعُ الغَنِيُّ المُغْنِي المَانِعُ الضَّارُّ النَّافِعُ النُّورُ الهَادِي البَدِيعُ البَاقِي الوَارِثُ الرَّشِيدُ الصَّبُورُ
