Asma ul Husna (the 99 Divine Attributes
or
Names of Allah) with English translation.
Allah
Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 50 Hadith 894
Abu Huraira reported Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Verily, there are ninety-nine names for Allah, i.e. hundred excepting one. He who enumerates them would get into Paradise. And Hammam has made this addition on the authority of Abu Huraira who reported it from Prophet Muhammad
صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم that he said: “He is Odd (one) and loves odd number.”
Sahih Muslim – Book 35 Hadith 6476
