Question:
I remember a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whose meaning is:Sunan Ibn Majah 3860Hasan (Darussalam) But I have a list of the beautiful names of Allah, and after counting them, I found them to be one hundred names. Is the name al-Sitar among the beautiful names of Allah?
Please direct us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
I do not know of anything indicating that al-Sitar is among His names, even though people use it, but I do not know of an authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it; rather, al-Sitir came:Sunan Abi Dawud 1488Sahih (Al-Albani).
As for al-Sitar, I do not know of an authentic hadith indicating that it is among His names, Glorified is He. The names of Allah are found in His Noble Book and in what is authentic in the Sunnah from the Prophet (may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon him). They are more than one hundred minus one, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged that whoever counts these one hundred minus one will enter Paradise. In the other wording:Sahih Muslim 2677a meaning: whoever counts them and acts in accordance with their implications. Merely memorizing them without acting on them is not a cause for entering Paradise, nor does the person become one who has counted them. If he counts them and stands firm upon their meaning, he will enter Paradise. Yes.
I remember a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whose meaning is:
Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred less one. Whoever counts them will enter Paradise.

Your Lord is munificent and generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him.

he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise
من حفظها دخل الجنة
