The Greatest Name of Allah

It was narrated from Abdullah bin Buraidah that his

father said: “The Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam heard a
man say:

‘Allahumma! Inni as’aluka bi-annaka Antallahul-Ahadus-

Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwlad, wa lam yakun
lahu kufuwan ahad

(O Allah! I ask You by virtue of Your being Allah, the

One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was
begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable to Him).’

The Messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wasalam said:

‘He has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, which if He is
asked thereby He gives, and if He is called upon thereby
He answers.” (Sahih, Tirmidhi, 3857)
 The Greatest Name of Allah
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasalam heard a man say:

‘Allahumma! Inni as’aluka bi-anna lakal-hamd. La illlaha

illa Anta, wahdaka la sharika laka. Al-Mannan. Badi ‘us-
samawati wal-ard. Dhul-jalali wal-ikram

(O Allah! I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise

is due to You; none has the right to be worshiped but
You alone, and You have no partner or associate, the
Bestower, the Originator of the heavens and the earth,
the Possessor of majesty and honor.)’

He salallahu alayhi wasalam said: ‘He has asked Allah

by His Greatest Name which, if He is asked thereby
He gives and if He is called upon thereby He answers.’”
(Hasan, Tirmidhi, 3858)
