Question:
It is known that the names of Allah are based on what has been transmitted, so what is the basis for Imam Ahmad teaching some of his companions to say in their supplication, “O Guide of the Lost, guide me to the path of the truthful”?
Answer:
This is what I have seen; this is a report that needs to be traced to its sources. However, “Guide of the Lost” means the Guide, for the Guide is the One who guides, and Allah is the Guide, Glorified and Exalted is He.
