Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asked Allah, what? Is al-Hanun (the Most Merciful) among the attributes of Allah? And what is the ruling on saying "O al-Hanun, O al-Mannan (the Bestower of Grace)" in supplication?
Answer:
Al-Hanun (the Most Merciful) is not established as one of the names of Allah; the hadith in which it appears is lost. Therefore, it is not permissible to attribute to Allah anything that is not authentic and established.
