Question:
May Allah be with you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “I am the distributor, and Allah is the Bestower,” is there an indication that al-Mu’ti (the Bestower) is among the names of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
This is a statement about Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is a statement that He is the Bestower, just as it is a statement that the Messenger is the distributor. Is the Messenger called al-Qasim (the Distributor)? No, this is a statement in the category of mere information; it is not a naming. Yes.
