Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a message sent to the program from al-Qasim. The sender of the message is one of the sisters from there, who symbolized her name with two letters: (A) and (H). We presented some of her questions in a previous episode, and in this episode she has some more questions. In one of her questions, she says: I ask your Eminence about the hadith of Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 3860Hasan (Darussalam) Does the word: in the hadith mean: memorizing them, or merely reciting them? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
This hadith is recorded in the two Sahihs from the Prophet (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him), and it has two wordings. One of them is: and the second wording is: Sahih Muslim 2677a The meaning of is: memorizing them and mastering them, and entering Paradise. Ahṣāhā (counting them) is achieved by memorizing them, and by acting in accordance with their implications. However, if one counts them but does not act in accordance with their implications, and does not believe in them, then they will not benefit him. Thus, counting them includes memorizing them, and includes acting in accordance with their meanings.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the one whom Allah has guided to count them and memorize them to act in accordance with their implications. He should be merciful, and he should also act in accordance with the implications of the remaining names. He should believe that Allah is Mighty, Wise, Compassionate, Merciful, All-Powerful, and All-Knowing of everything, and he should believe in that. Then he should watch over Allah and fear Allah, so that he does not persist in the sins that his Lord knows. Rather, he should beware of sins and stay away from them, and from disbelief in Allah in all its types, and so on.
He strives to preserve it and act in accordance with its implications, such as faith in Allah and His Messenger, and affirming the attributes and names for Allah in the manner befitting Him, without distortion, denial of the divine attributes, asking how an attribute is, or comparing Allah to creation. He knows that they are the truth, that they are attributes of Allah and names of Allah, and that He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is perfect in His essence, His names, His attributes, and His actions, having no likeness and no equal, as He said in His great Book:[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] [Surah al-Ikhlas: 1-4].
He believes in this, and that He is al-Samad, having no likeness, to whom all creation turns and in whom they have need , and that He is perfect in every respect. He believes that He did not beget nor was He begotten, and that He has no equal, neither in His attributes nor in His actions; He has no equal, no counterpart, and no similar one. Allah the Exalted said: [Surah al-Shura: 11]... [Surah Maryam: 65]... [Surah al-Nahl: 74]. Thus, He (Glorified and Exalted is He) has no similar one, no likeness, no equal, and no peer. He is perfect in every respect: in His knowledge, His essence, His wisdom, His mercy, His majesty, His power, and all His attributes .
So whoever counts them in knowledge and action, and memorizes them in knowledge and action, Allah will admit him to Paradise. However, if he counts them and memorizes them, but persists in sins and evil deeds, then he is under the will of Allah. If Allah wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him for his sins. Then, after purifying him from his sins, Allah will take him out of the Fire into Paradise, if he died upon tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and Islam, as Allah, Exalted is He, said: [An-Nisa: 31]. This is an address to the people of Islam, indeed to all people: [An-Nisa: 31]. The major sins include shirk (associating partners with Allah), types of kufr (disbelief), and include the sins that Allah has forbidden, for which there is cursing, anger, and threat from among the major sins.
So it is upon the servants, men and women, to avoid them. For this reason, He, Exalted is He, said: [An-Nisa: 31], meaning: the minor sins [An-Nisa: 31].
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 564 And in another wording: Sunan Ibn Majah 1086Sahih (Darussalam) such as zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), theft, undutifulness to parents or one of them, severing family ties, consuming riba (usury or interest), backbiting, talebearing, turning one's back on the day of battle, sorcery, and so on, from what Allah has forbidden among the major sins.
The point is that counting the Beautiful Names and memorizing them is among the causes of happiness and among the causes of entering Paradise for the one who fulfills their right, remains steadfast in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and does not persist in major sins. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

We presented some of her questions in a previous episode, and in this episode she has some more questions. In one of her questions, she says: I ask your Eminence about the hadith of Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred less one. Whoever counts them will enter Paradise.
إن لله تسعة وتسعين اسمًا، مائة إلا واحدًا، من أحصاها؛ دخل الجنةenumerates them
أحصاهاAnswer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
This hadith is recorded in the two Sahihs from the Prophet (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him), and it has two wordings. One of them is:
Whoever enumerates them
من أحصاهاhe who commits them to memory would get into Paradise
من حفظها؛ دخل الجنةenumerates them
أحصاهاTherefore, it is obligatory for the one whom Allah has guided to count them and memorize them to act in accordance with their implications. He should be merciful, and he should also act in accordance with the implications of the remaining names. He should believe that Allah is Mighty, Wise, Compassionate, Merciful, All-Powerful, and All-Knowing of everything, and he should believe in that. Then he should watch over Allah and fear Allah, so that he does not persist in the sins that his Lord knows.

He knows that they are the truth, that they are attributes of Allah and names of Allah, and that He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is perfect in His essence, His names, His attributes, and His actions, having no likeness and no equal, as He said in His great Book:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ He believes in this, and that He is al-Samad, having no likeness, to whom all creation turns and in whom they have need , and that He is perfect in every respect. He believes that He did not beget nor was He begotten, and that He has no equal, neither in His attributes nor in His actions; He has no equal, no counterpart, and no similar one. Allah the Exalted said:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُDo you know of any similarity to Him?"
هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّاSo do not assert similarities to Allah
فَلا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الأَمْثَالَSo whoever counts them in knowledge and action, and memorizes them in knowledge and action, Allah will admit him to Paradise. However, if he counts them and memorizes them, but persists in sins and evil deeds, then he is under the will of Allah. If Allah wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him for his sins. Then, after purifying him from his sins, Allah will take him out of the Fire into Paradise, if he died upon tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and Islam, as Allah, Exalted is He, said:
If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins
إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْIf you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins
إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْSo it is upon the servants, men and women, to avoid them. For this reason, He, Exalted is He, said:
If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins
إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْand admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].
وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًاAnd the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The five [daily] prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan make atonement for what has happened since the previous one when major sins have been avoided.
الصلوات الخمس، والجمعة إلى الجمعة، ورمضان إلى رمضان، كفارات لما بينهن إذا اجتنب الكبائرso long as one does not commit any major sin
ما لم تغش الكبائرThe point is that counting the Beautiful Names and memorizing them is among the causes of happiness and among the causes of entering Paradise for the one who fulfills their right, remains steadfast in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and does not persist in major sins. Yes.
