Chapter: The Names Of Allah, Exalted is He, And The Virtue Of The One Who Learns Them By Heart
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number. And in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): He who enumerated them.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle ( 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 Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he said: He is Odd (one) and loves odd number.
