The questioner : A questioner asks: Is it correct for us to say "O Hider"? And is al-Satir an attribute or one of the names of Allah?
The Shaykh : Al-Satir is an attribute of Allah, an attribute of Allah. I do not know of any harm in saying "O Hider, hide me," because the Hider in the absolute sense is Allah (Mighty and Majestic). However, instead of that, one should say "O Most Merciful, hide me," because mercy is general and encompassing of everything that achieves the desired goal and removes the feared harm.
