Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is silence one of the attributes of Allah, or is it reported about Allah?
Answer:
It is a report; He reports it and remained silent about certain things. It is not said that "the Silent One" is one of the names of Allah, but it is said as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

It is a report; He reports it and remained silent about certain things. It is not said that "the Silent One" is one of the names of Allah, but it is said as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has set limits, so do not transgress them. He has established obligations, so do not neglect them. And He has remained silent about certain things out of mercy for you, not out of forgetfulness, so do not ask about them."
صلى الله عليه وسلم ان الله حد حدودا فلا تنتهكوها فرض فرائض فلا تضيعوها وسكت عن اشياء رحمه بكم غير نسيان فلا تسالوا عنها.
