حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا، مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ". {أَحْصَيْنَاهُ} حَفِظْنَاهُ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise." To count something means to know it by heart.
[2] Memorizing Allāh’s Names means to believe in those Qualities of Allāh derived from those Names and should be accompanied by good deeds which Allāh’s Names inspire us to do. Just knowing Allāh’s Names by heart, will not make a vicious man enter Paradise. Therefore, the word ‘memorized’ in the Hadīth means to behave in accordance with the implications of Allāh’s Names.Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 7392In-book reference : Book 97, Hadith 21USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 9, Book 93, Hadith 489
