Are the names of Allah the Exalted arranged in a specific order?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Are the beautiful names of Allah arranged in a specific order as we see them in some written boards? Or do they have no order, since I have memorized them in alphabetical order and not in the order written in some of the boards?
Answer:
The names of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) have no evidence regarding their enumeration. They are taken from the Book and the Sunnah; they are taken from the Qur'an and from the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Those who mentioned them did so based on their independent legal reasoning according to what they knew from the Book and the Sunnah. This is not a matter of restriction or specification. And what is mentioned at the end of the hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi.
This is an insertion; it is not part of the original hadith. They say it is an insertion, and it is not from the original hadith. Nor is what is written on the boards or on papers. This is merely the writer's independent legal reasoning to track the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) that appear in the Qur'an. Yes.
