It is reported in the hadith that Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise. What is meant by enumerating them, and will the one who enumerates them enter Paradise without being reckoned?

The questioner :
Among the questions is: It is reported in the hadith that Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise. What is meant by enumerating them, and will the one who enumerates them enter Paradise without being reckoned?

The Shaykh:
As for entering Paradise without being reckoned, this is not specified in the hadith. However, the hadith in any case contains
good news that one who does not enumerate the names of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) does not deserve. As for the enumeration mentioned in the hadith,
it is an allusion to tracking these beautiful names from the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and from the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him),
because they are not enumerated as some people think due to that hadith which
al-Tirmidhi and others narrated exactly for this hadith: "Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine names, a hundred minus one, and whoever enumerates them will
enter Paradise." Then al-Tirmidhi listed in his narration these names, ninety-nine. If the matter were so, the affair would be
easy, for "whoever enumerates them" to mean whoever memorizes them, as one of us memorizes Surat al-Fatihah or something
longer than it. But this addition that came in al-Tirmidhi's narration of this authentic hadith, the addition
specifically regarding it, is not authentic according to the scholars of hadith. Therefore, it is necessary for the one who wants to attain this good news
specified in this hadith; it is necessary that he intends to [study] the verses and hadiths in which the names of Allah
the Beautiful are mentioned, and then he is guided to enumerate the ninety-nine names, at which point it is an indication for him that he has Paradise. And in
their belief in such a hadith, the Wise Lawgiver means to sharpen the Muslim's drive to work, to study, and to read,
so that perhaps he is guided and hits upon the ninety-nine names. And like this in the Shari'ah is much, of which is the Night of Decree.

He says this is not forbidden. As for the hadith asked about, he says the breastfeeding that is forbidden is the satiating breastfeeding
that fills the intestines. This is also a step for the final clarification in the Shari'ah: what is the forbidden breastfeeding? It came in
Sahih Muslim that it is five breastfeedings. So can we say that this hadith asked about does not open the intestines?
Its interpretation is: it did not breastfeed the child with satiating breastfeeding of five breastfeedings. And the five breastfeedings, the intended meaning is
also not five satiating sucks. No, the infant, as is observed, breastfeeds and then leaves, and the mother thinks
that he is full, so he fidgets and plays, then quickly returns to the breast two or three times according to his habit or the nature
of the child, until he is full. In this case, he sleeps. When the second breastfeeding turn comes, the same applies to it as we mentioned
in the first breastfeeding, even though in many breastfeedings it is considered one. From these satiating breastfeedings,
it must be provided that there are five breastfeedings until it is said that this breastfeeding forbids. But if it is less than that, it is not
considered that this breastfeeding forbids. But if it is otherwise, no. As you heard, "opening the intestines" means satiating
as you heard, except "opening the intestines," meaning satiating and filling them. As for the little breastfeeding, as the schools of jurisprudence say about it,
even if a drop of milk enters a child, this becomes her child by breastfeeding. This is not correct, and this has
no proof at all, except relying on some absolute texts: {And your mothers who breastfed you} - An-Nisa 23.
They took it linguistically, so merely when the mother breastfeeds her child, even if it is a suck, linguistically it is said "she breastfed." But we do not take
the Shari'ah from language only. There are limits, there are restrictions that the Wise Lawgiver set through the tongue of His Noble Prophet. Of these
restrictions and limits are five satiating breastfeedings. This is what forbids. Therefore, it is not permissible to rush to forbid
marriage between those who think they are brothers and sisters in breastfeeding, merely for a suck or two sucks. This is contrary to
the hadith explicitly. The suck and two sucks do not forbid, nor one or two breastfeedings. Rather, it is necessary to ensure that
there is satiating breastfeeding of five or more, when it is not permissible for him to marry her.
