80.69 Allah has one hundred Names less one

٨٠۔٦٩ باب لِلَّهِ مِائَةُ اسْمٍ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ

bukhari:6410ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > Ḥafiẓnāh from Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah Riwāyah

Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., 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' (i.e., odd numbers).  

البخاري:٦٤١٠حَدَّثَنَا 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
