There are books written on the names of Allah the Exalted, and their authors differ in enumerating the names of Allah the Exalted. How should this be understood regarding them?

The questioner : Regarding the names, the names of Allah, I have obtained four small works by some contemporary scholars. I checked the names present in them and found that they differ. That is, each one has additional names, and this one has others. When I combined them, the total came to one hundred and seventeen. All of them stopped at verifying their correctness according to their knowledge. This is also evidence that some of them have knowledge and some of them...?
The Shaykh : This is correct, but in any case, it should be noted that those who mentioned some of the names, did they mention their evidence and is it from the authentic Sunnah? In that case, the observation is in its proper place. However, they may mention some hadiths, and these hadiths may not be authentic. Yes, please proceed.
The questioner : I mentioned in the chain a hadith of our Master... When he prayed once a voluntary prayer before the midday prayer, a voluntary prayer before Zuhr, and it reached four rak'ahs, and he sat between them in the tashahhud. The issue that arises for me is, first, this prayer is exactly similar to the Zuhr prayer, and some scholars among them give the reason in the witr prayer that if you pray three rak'ahs, you do not sit in it so that it does not resemble the Maghrib prayer. So how can this be? Also, in this same voluntary prayer that you completed, do the sunnahs that apply to the four-rak'ah prayer, like the Zuhr prayer, apply to it? That is, in the last two rak'ahs, do you recite whatever is easy after reciting al-Fatihah? And is the tashahhud added to as mentioned in the sunnah in the second tashahhud, the prayer and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah and others? Do these apply to it or not?
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, you have crammed many questions into one question. So that we can answer each question in your question, start by raising the first question, then the second, then the third, as you wish. Yes.
