The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Chapter: What is mentioned regarding the Essence, the Attributes, and the Names of Allah
And Khayyib said:Sahih al-Bukhari 7402 so he mentioned the Essence by His Name, the Exalted.
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As you have seen, this heading consists of three terms: the Essence, the Attributes, and the Names. As for the Attributes, they are the descriptions; the descriptions of Allah, the Exalted, are called attributes, just as they are called descriptions. So you say, “Allah described Himself with such and such,” meaning He described Himself. As for the Names, the Names of Allah, their matter is known. Allah named Himself with many names and made ninety-nine of them such that whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.
