3860 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا، مِائَةً إِلَّا وَاحِدًا، مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»

Commentary
Another narration reads: "Whoever learns them..." (See Hadith: 3861) The expression of 'counting' is understood in many ways. For example, all the Names of Allāh should be uttered at the time of supplication or the practical life should coincide with the meanings of the Names of Allāh. (For example, one of the Names of Allāh is Ar-'Razzāq so, a slave should trust in Him for his livelihood and should be satisfied with lawful means of living). One of the opinions is that it means believing in the attributes of Allāh. (for details see Fathul-Bāri, volume 11, page 270)
