- The list of the 99 names is narrated by at-Tirmidhi (3507) from Abu Hurayrah; at-Tirmidhi calls it gharib, and scholars differ on the exact wording of the list. That Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever preserves them (ahsaha) enters Paradise, is in Sahih al-Bukhari (2736) and Sahih Muslim (2677).
