Sahih al-Bukhari 6410 (Book 80, Hadith 105) #6159
The Ninety-Nine Names of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah has ninety-nine names and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly will enter Paradise.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah has ninety-nine Names, ie, one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is witr (one) and loves 'the witr' (ie, odd numbers).
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ مِنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ ‏ "‏ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ اسْمًا، مِائَةٌ إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا، لاَ يَحْفَظُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَهْوَ وَتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوَتْرَ

Believe in the meanings of Allah's ninety nine names and act accordingly

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the ninety-nine names of Allah. It is said that whoever believes in the meanings of these names and acts accordingly will be granted entry into Paradise. These names are special to Muslims as they represent different attributes or qualities that Allah possesses such as Al-Rahman, which means The Most Merciful, or Al-Wahhab which means The Bestower. By understanding these qualities and striving to embody them in our lives, we can become closer to God and gain entry into paradise. Additionally, this hadith also mentions that God loves odd numbers; this could be interpreted as a reminder for us to strive for balance in our lives by not becoming too attached to material possessions or worldly desires but instead focusing on spiritual growth.
