The questioner : May Allah reward you. Shaykh, regarding the words of... are they known and limited among the scholars, or are they identified through tracking or by the explicit statement of the narrator?

The Shaykh : In any case, it is not possible to limit them. Rather, multiple examples are cited for them. And one may know this either by the fact that the hadith is such, or by the fact that this inserted portion does not come from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). For example, we know that the hadith
Tawaf around the House is prayer, except that Allah has permitted speech in it. الطواف بالبيت صلاة إلا أن الله أباح فيه الكلام
Sunan ad-Darimi 5:61
is not from the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) because the tawaf is not precise; it does not differ from the prayer merely by the removal of speech, but it differs from the prayer in many things. It differs from the prayer more than it agrees with it, is that not so? And the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) must be precise. Yes, Salim.
The student: Regarding the hundred names of Allah... is it more complete than ninety-nine, and would this...?

The Shaykh : How?
The student: I mean, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah has ninety-nine Names لله تسعة وتسعين اسما
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3508Sahih (Darussalam)
The hundred, closing the hundred, what is difficult for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and the hundred, and the number of the hundred is more complete than the number of 99, would it be...?

The Shaykh : Allah knows best. This is why it came in the hadith:
for Allah is Witr* and He loves the odd (numbered). إن الله وتر يحب الوتر
Sunan Ibn Majah 1169Da’if (Darussalam)
in the very hadith itself.
Yes, Jumu'ah.
