Is the hadith in which the names of Allah are mentioned in detail authentic?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith of the ninety-nine names, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned them, is in al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. It seems to me, based on what I understood from al-Tirmidhi’s Sahih, that there is either a weakening or an improvement of its grading.
The Shaykh : It is the hadith that details the names. Yes, that is correct. As for the version without the details, it is in al-Bukhari’s Sahih. In addition to the weakness in its chain of narration, there is a great deal of variation in the reports regarding the specification of these ninety-nine names. Some reports mention certain names, while other reports of the same hadith mention different names.
The questioner : There is inconsistency in it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
