3506. Abū Hurairah [may Allāh be pleased with him] narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed, Allāh has ninety-nine Names, one hundred less one, whoever counts[1] them shall enter Paradise.” (Hasan) (Another chain) from Abū Hurairah [may Allāh be pleased with him], from the Prophet ﷺ, with similar to it. This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ, and it has been reported through more than one route from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.
٣٥٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ لِلهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ»، مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ. ٣٥٠٦ (م) - قَالَ يُوسُفُ: وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

[1] Literally, “Aḥṣā” means to count. It is said that this means one who says them word by word. It is also said that it means one who remembers them. Or it could mean one who knows them and contemplates their meanings and acts according to what they dictate, this seems to be the best interpretation. And Allāh knows best. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.
Almost all the scholars agree that the Names of Allāh ﷻ are not restricted to ninety-nine.
