لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما رواه البخاري من حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أنِه صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ:

( لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ اسْمًا ، مِائَةٌ إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا ، لاَ يَحْفَظُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَهْوَ وَتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوَتْرَ

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it : in what has been compiled by Al-Bukhari (in his saheeh) from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that he (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said :

“ Allah has ninety-nine Names,  one hundred minus one, and whoever memorizes them (believes in their meanings, and acts accordingly) will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one)and loves 'the witr' (i.e., odd numbers).” [Al-Bukhari : 6047]

ورد الاسم في صحيح مسلم من حديث عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه أن النَّبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: ( لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ : إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبُهُ حَسَنًا وَنَعْلُهُ حَسَنَةً ، قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ ، الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ

This name is mentioned in saheeh Muslim ,  from the hadeeth of Ibn Masu’d (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that the Messenger(sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said :

“ He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of prideshall not enter Paradise. A person (amongst his hearers) said: ‘Verily a person loves that his dress should be fine, and his shoes should be fine.’  He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) remarked: ‘Verily, Allah is Gracefuland He loves Grace. prideis disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for the people.”  [Muslim: 91]

لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما رواه أبو داود وصححه الألباني من حديث يَعْلَى بن أمية رضي الله عنه: ( أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى رَجُلاً يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْبَرَازِ بِلاَ إِزَارٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَيِىٌّ سِتِّيرٌ يُحِبُّ الْحَيَاءَ وَالسَّتْرَ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it : in what has been compiled by Abu Dawuud and declared saheeh by al-Albanee .  from the hadeeth of Ya'la (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that:

The Apostle of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam)  saw a man washing in a public place without a lower garment. So he mounted the pulpit, praised and extolled Allah and then he (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: “ Allah Azza wa Jalla is ( Al – Hayyiyu)The One characterised by modesty and The One characterised by concealment. So when any of you washes, he should conceal himself.” [Saheeh abu dawud 3387]

ورد الاسم في السنة مقرونا باسم الله الحيي ، وقد اشتهر اسم الستار بين الناس بدلا من الستير وهو خطأ لأنه لم يرد في القرآن أو السنة.

The name has been mentioned in the sunnah together with the preceeding name (Al-Hayiyyu) . And most people have confused/mixed the name as-sattar instead of As-Sitteer . And this is wrong as the name as-sattar is not established in the Qur’an nor in the sunnah.

رواه أبو داود وصححه الألباني من حديث يَعْلَى بن أمية رضي الله عنه:

 ( أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى رَجُلاً يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْبَرَازِ بِلاَ إِزَارٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَيِىٌّسِتِّيرٌ يُحِبُّ الْحَيَاءَ وَالسَّتْرَ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ )

As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his saying that I will not recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, the first creation was not easier for Me than new creation. As for his abusing Me , it is his saying that Allah has begotten children, while I am The One , the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need , I beget not , nor was I begotten, and there is none like unto Me." [Al-Bukhari :4690]

“ Say: "Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end decide the matter between us (and you) in Truth and justice: and He is The One to decide, The One Who knows all. ” [Saba: 26]

 ( قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلا عَلَى اللَّهِوَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ )

“ Say (O MuhammadSallah Allahu alayhi wasallam): "Whatever wage I might have asked of you is yours. My wage is from Allâh only. and He is Witness over all things." [Saba: 47]

لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، كما جاء في الحديث المتفق عليه عند البخاري والمسلم من حديث ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنه أن النَّبِي صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَتَهَجَّدُ قَالَ :

  اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّماَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ .. إلى أن قال : فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ ، أَنْتَالْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَوْ لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it : as it has come from the agreed upon hadeeth with Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn Abbas (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that When the Prophet got up at night to offer the Tahajjud prayer, he (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) used to say:

“ O Allah! All the praises are for you, You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth…… to when he said : ……Please forgive me my previous And future sins; And whatever I concealed or revealed You are The Bringer-Forward, and You are The Delayer ,There is none to be  worshipped but you or  there is no (true) god except You." [Bukhari 1069]

لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فقد ورد مع الاسم الذي تقدم في قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ( أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ )،

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it . It has come together with the preceeding name (Al-Muqaddim) , in his (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) speech (du’aa) :

( ….You are The Bringer-Forward, and You are The Delayer,….)

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِر

“ In a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise), near The Omnipotent King (Allâh, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour).” [Al–Qamar: 55]

وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقْتَدِراً

“…And Allâh is Able to do everything.” [Al–Kahf: 45]

لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فقد ورد الاسم في صحيح السنة ففي سنن الترمذي وقال حسن صحيح وكذلك عند أبي داود وابن ماجه وأحمد وصححه الألباني جميعهم يروي عن أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنه أنه قَالَ:

 ( قَالَ النَّاسُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ غَلاَ السِّعْرُ فَسَعِّرْ لَنَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ ، وإني لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَي اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يُطَالِبُنِي بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلاَ مَالٍ )

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it :  it has come from the authentic Sunnah, it is in the sunan of at-Tirmidhee and he said ‘hasan saheeh’ , and also from Abu Daawud , Ibn Majah , and Ahmad ; and shaykh Albanee authenticated all of these, they  naratted from Anas (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that  he said :

“ The people said : ‘ O Messenger of Allah , prices have shot up  , so fix prices for us.’

Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said : ‘Allah is The one Who Raises and Increase & decreases things ( through His Will  e.g  prices , provision , life ), The One Who withholds , The One who gives lavishly and The One who sustains , and I hope that when I meet Allah , none of you will have any claim on me for an injustice regarding blood or property.” [ Abu Dawud : 3451 , at-Tirmidhee : 1314 , Ibn Majah : 2200 ]

سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في الحديث الصحيح الذي سبق في اسم الله المسعر: ( إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُالْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ …

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it  in the authentic hadeeth that has preceeded , in which is the name of Allah : Al – Musai’r :

 “ ….Allah is The one Who Raises and Increase & decreases things ( through His Will  e.g  prices ,provision , life), The One Who withholds, The One who gives lavishly and The One who sustains, and I hope that when I meet Allah, none of you will have any claim on me for an injustice regarding blood or property.”  

ورد الاسم في السنة في الحديث السابق مع المسعر القابض

The name is mentioned In the Sunnah , together with the preceeding names of Allah : Al – Musai’ru and Al – Qaabidhu , (in the same authentic hadeeth ; above) .

… }إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ{…

“ …Allah is The one Who Raises and Increase & decreases things ( through His Will  e.g  prices ,provision , life), The One Who withholds, The One who gives lavishly and The One who sustains, ….

وكذلك ورد الاسم في القرآن مقيدا في قول الله تعالى :

( قَالَ عِيسَي ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِنْكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ )            

And also this name is mentioned within the statement of Allah The Exalted  : “ 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Allâh, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a festival and a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are The Best of sustainers." [Al–Maidah: 114]

وَهُوَ القَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ وَهُوَ الحَكِيمُ الخَبِيرُ

“ And He is The Irresistible , above His slaves, and He is the All-Wise, Well­Acquainted with all things.” [Al–An’aam: 18]

Shaykh Abdur-Rahmaan Nasir Sa’di (rahimahullah) explained this Name of Allah Al–Qaahir (The Irresistible ) : as meaning the One to whom all creations have humbled themselves To Him , and they submit before His granduer , Power and Perfect Strength.   

لم يرد الاسم في القرآن ولكن سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فعند البخاري من حديث جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ :

 }يَحْشُرُ اللَّهُ الْعِبَادَ فَيُنَادِيهِمْ بِصَوْتٍ يَسْمَعُهُ مَنْ بَعُدَ كَمَا يَسْمَعُهُ مَنْ قَرُبَ ، أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَا الدَّيَّانُ {

This name is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) named it :  as in Al- Bukhaaree , naratted from Jabeer from the hadeeth of Abdullaah ibn Unays (radhiyaAllahu anhum) that  he said : I heard the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) say :

“ Allah will gather the people and call them with a Voice which will be heard by those who will be far away and those who will be near ; By  saying : ‘ I am Al –Maalik (The King) , I am Ad-Dayyaan ( The One who judges people for their deeds after calling them to account .)” [Bukhari : book of tawheed : explanation of the statement of Allah ‘..and no intercession will help them …’  :  6/2719]

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَو اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْراً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

“ Verily ! As-Safâ and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allâh. So it is not a sin on him who perform Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawâf) between them (As-Safâ and Al-Marwah). And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allâh is All-Recogniser, All-Knower.” [Al–Baqarah: 158]

اسم الله المنان لم يرد في القرآن ولكن ورد في السنة مطلقا في سنن أبي داود وصححه الألباني من حديث أَنَسِ رضي الله عنه أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَالِسًا وَرَجُلٌ يُصَلّي ثُمَّ دَعَا :

( اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَالْمَنَّانُبَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم : لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى )

This name AL – MANNAAN is not mentioned in the Qura’n , but it  is mentioned in the sunnah:  in the sunan of Abu Daawud , and authenticated by shaykh Albanee from the hadeeth of Anas (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that  he said : we were sitting with the Messenger (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) and another men was praying and then he supplicated :

"O Allah! Indeed, I ask of You, by the fact that to You belongs all Praise; there is no (true) god except You, [You alone, You have no partners;] The Bestower of Favours; [O] Originator of the Heavens and the Earth; O One that is Full of Majesty and Honour; O Living One, O Eternal One; [indeed I ask of You] [the Garden, and I seek refuge with You from the Fire].

So the Prophet (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said to his Companions,‘Do you know with what he has supplicated?’  They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said,‘By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, he has supplicated Allah with His Mighty (in one narration: Mightiest) name, with which if He is supplicated, He answers, and with which if He is asked, He gives.” [Saheeh Abu daawud 1325]

سمى الله نفسه القادر في القرآن وسماه به رسوله فمن القرآن قوله تعالى :

  ( فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ القَادِرُونَ )

Allah has called Himself in the Quran ; Al–Qaadir , and as did the Prophet sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam (in the sunnah). In the Quran is the speech of The Exalted : “ So We did measure , and We are The Best to measure (the things).”  [Al-Mursalat : 23]

  ( قُل هُوَ القَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَاباً مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ )

And :“ Say: " He has power to send torment on you from above ..” [Al–Ana’am : 65]

 أَوَلَيْسَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ بَلَى وَهُوَ الْخَلاقُ الْعَلِيمُ

“ Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is The All-Knowing (The) Supreme Creator.” [Ya-Sin: 81]

قُلِ اللهُمَّ مَالِكَ المُلكِ

“ Say "O Allâh! Owner of the Dominion…” [Al–Imraan: 26]

 إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ

“…Verily, Allâh is The All-Provider, Owner of Power, The Most Strong.” [Adh-Dhariyat : 58]

الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَاناً وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

“ Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: "Allâh (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is The Best Disposer of affairs (for us).” [Al–Imraan : 173]

 ورد مقيدا في قوله تعالى عن عيسى:

 فَلمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَليْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

It has been mentioned in the Speech of The Exalted , as Prophet Eesa (alayhi salaam) said :

“…but when You took me up, You were The Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).”  [Al–Imraan:117]

 وقوله تعالى : ( إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ عَليْكُمْ رَقِيباً )

And the statement of The Exalted : “ Surely, Allâh is Ever an All-­Watcher over you.” [An-Nisaa : 1]

It has been narrated by at-Tabaraani and authenticated by Al-Albanee , from the hadeeth of Anas (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said :

“When you judge then be just , and when you slaughter in a good way , Verily Allah azza wa jalla is  The One who is perfect in goodness and he loves goodness.”  [ Tabaraani in majmu’ kabeer : view from hadeeth 7114 to 7123 , and Musannaf Abdul-razzaq  4/492.]

وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيباً

“ When you are greeted with a greeting , greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally. Certainly, Allâh is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things." [An– Nisaa : 86]

فعند البخاري من حديث عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم  كَانَ إِذَا أَتَي مَرِيضًا أَوْ أُتِي بِهِ قَالَ:                

( أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، اشْفِ وَأَنْتَ الشَّافِي لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا )

with Al- Bukharee from the hadeeth of ‘Aisha (radhiyaAllahu anha) that  she said : when a sick person was brought to him or he became sick , he (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) used to say:

" O Allah , The Lord of the people ! Remove the trouble ,  (and) heal the patient , for You are The Healer. No healing is of any avail but Yours; healing that will leave behind no ailment."[Bukhari : book of medicine : 5/2147]

اسم الله الرفيق ورد في السنة النبوية  ,عند مسلم عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم  قَالَ لها:

  }يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَي الرِّفْقِ مَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ وَمَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَي مَا سِوَاهُ{

The name of Allah : Al – Rafeeq , is narrated in the Prophetic sunnah (from both Bukhari & Muslim) ,  with Muslim from the hadeeth of ‘Aisha (radhiyaAllahu anha) that  the prophet (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said to her :

“ O ‘Aisha , Allah is All – Kind and loves kindness. He rewards for kindness in a way which (what)  he does not give for other good deeds.” [ Muslim : book of piety , good relations  and good manners  : 4/2003  ]

عند البخاري من حديث مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم  قال:

}مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ في الدِّينِ، وَاللهُ الْمُعْطِي وَأَنَا الْقَاسِمُ، وَلاَ تَزَالُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةُ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِي أَمْرُ اللهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ{

with Al- Bukharee from the hadeeth of Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (radhiyaAllahu anhum) that  Allah's Apostle (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said :

" If Allah wants to do good for somebody, he makes him comprehend the Religion (i.e. Islam), and Allah is The Giver and I am Al-Qasim (i.e. the distributor),and this (Muslim) nation will remain victorious over their opponents ,till Allah's Order (The last day) comes and they will still be victorious " [Bukhari : book of One-fifth of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus) : 3/1143]

}  مَنْ يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُنْ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ مِنْهَا وَمَنْ يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُنْ لَهُ كِفْلٌ مِنْهَا وَكَانَ اللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقِيتاً { 

The speech of The Most Exalted :

“ Whosoever intercedes for a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in its burden. And Allâh is Ever All-Able to do (and also an All-Witness to) everything.” [An-Nisaa:85] 

Shaykh Abdur-Rahmaan Nasir Sa’di (rahimahullah) explained this Name ofAllah  :

 Al – Muqeet  : as meaningThe One who provides everything that is in existence ; with what would strengthen it, Who provides it with it's nourishment and directs it howsoever He Wills in accordance to His Wisdom and Praise.

ثبت اسم الله السيد في السنة، فقد سماه به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم  ، ففي سنن أبي داود وصححه الشيخ الألباني من حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ رضي الله عنه  قالَ:

This name of Allah ; AL – SAYYID is established in the sunnah : as in the sunan of Abu Daawud , and authenticated by shaykh Albanee from the hadeeth of Abdullaah ibn Shikhkheer (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that he said :

" I went with a delegation of Banu `Amir to the prophet of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) and we said (to him): "You are our Sayyid (Master)."

 He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) replied :

"As-Sayyid ( The Master ) is Allah ."  We said :"And you are the most excellent and superior of us." He(sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) answered :"Say what you have to say, or part of what you have to say and do not let Satan make you get carried away." [Saheeh Abu Daawud : 4021]

In saheeh Muslim , from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (radhiyaAllahu anhu) that the prophet of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said :

“ O  people , Allah  is ( The )  Pure  and  He accepts only that which is pure.” [ SaheehMuslim : The book of Zakaat : 2/703 : 1015 ]

ورد في الحديث الذي رواه أبو داود وصححه الألباني  ,من حديث شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَانِئٍ رضي الله عنه  :

 ( أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَ قَوْمِهِ سَمِعَهُمْ يَكْنُونَهُ بِأَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ فَلِمَ تُكْنَى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِي كِلاَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا، فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَ: لِي شُرَيْحٌ وَمُسْلِمٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ: شُرَيْحٌ قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ )

It  is mentioned in the sunan of Abu Daawud , and authenticated by shaykh Albanee from the hadeeth of Shurayh  from his father Hani ibn Yazid (radhiyaAllahu anhum) :

that When Hani went with his people in a deputation to the Apostle of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam), he (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) heard them calling him (hani) by his kunyah (nickname), AbulHakam.

So the Apostle of Allah (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) called him and said : “Allah is The Judge ( Al-Hakam ), and to Him belongs  The Judgment. Why are you given the kunyah Abul Hakam?”

He replied : When my people disagree about a matter , they come to me , and I decide between them, and both parties are satisfied with my decision.

So He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said : ‘How good this is ! What children have you ? He replied : ‘ I have Shurayh , Muslim and Abdullah.’  He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) asked : ‘ Who is the oldest of them?’  I replied : Shurayh. He (sallahAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Then you are Abu Shurayh.” [Saheeh Abu Daawud : 4145]
