Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1015, is what is mentioned in the hadith a name or an attribute of Allah?
Answer:
It is an attribute of Allah, my brothers. Do not take names from every text, and do not take everything as a name. Some people even say "Allah is a person" (shakhs) and call Him "the person." This is not permissible. There are things that are reports about Allah, not names, in the category of information, not in the category of names. So do not take them as names. Do not say that everything you find is a name of Allah. Allah is not named except by what He named Himself, or by what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) named Him. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah is Good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good
