The hadith
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.
Narrated Abu Huraira: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
Sahih al-Bukhari 7392 (also Sahih Muslim 2677)
The hadith that Allah has ninety-nine names is authentic (Sahih al-Bukhari 7392, Sahih Muslim 2677). The list of names below is the one narrated in Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3507, whose chain was graded weak (da‘if) by Ahmad Muhammad Shakir, Al-Albani, Zubair Ali Zai, so many scholars hold that the enumeration was added by a narrator rather than being the Prophet’s ﷺ own words. Meanings: Aladhan (aladhan.com).
Frequently asked questions
How many names does Allah have in the hadith?
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one, and whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise (Sahih al-Bukhari 7392, Sahih Muslim 2677).
Where does the list of the 99 names come from?
The commonly used list is narrated in Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3507. Its chain was graded weak by Ahmad Muhammad Shakir, Al-Albani, Zubair Ali Zai, so the enumeration itself is not established as the Prophet’s ﷺ words.
What does Asma ul Husna mean?
It means the most beautiful names. The Quran says that the most beautiful names belong to Allah and calls people to invoke Him by them (Quran 7:180).
Are Allah’s names limited to ninety-nine?
The cited authentic hadith promises a reward for enumerating ninety-nine names. It does not explicitly say that Allah has no other names. The list shown here should therefore not be treated as an exhaustive, authenticated enumeration.
How can I memorize the names?
Read a small group of names regularly, check each Arabic form and meaning, then review them without looking. Use the source note above when studying the commonly circulated list.
