Using the term "al-Musayyar" and swearing by the actual attributes of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is mentioned in a hadith that Allah is al-Musayyar. Is it permissible to swear by the actual attributes of Allah, such as al-Musayyar?

Answer:
No, this is not one of the names of Allah. As for al-Musayyar, when they said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that prices had risen and asked the Messenger to set prices for them, he refused to do so and declined to set prices for them. He said:
Indeed, Allah is the Provider, the Expander, and He is al-Musayyarان الله هو الرازق الباسط هو المسعر
meaning that the matter is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
