"اسْمُ الله الأَعْظَمُ في الآيتينِ {وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ} وفاتحةُ الِ عِمْرانَ {الم اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إلا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} حم، ش، د، ت حسن صحيح، هـ، طب، هب عن أسماء بنت يزيد.
Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when ˹Solomon˺ saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for ˹the benefit of˺ himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."
قَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهُ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ ۖ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a man saying: O Allah, I ask Thee, I bear witness that there is no god but Thou, the One, He to Whom men repair, Who has not begotten, and has not been begotten, and to Whom no one is equal, and he said: You have supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when asked with this name He gives, and when supplicated by this name he answers.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ بِالاِسْمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ
فِيهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ ﷻ بِاسْمِهِ الأَعْظَمِ
"Allah's Greatest Names is in these two verses: "And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God), none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving' and the beginning of Surah Al 'Imran, "A.L.M Allah, there is no deity but He, the Living, the Eternal."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ { وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ } وَفَاتِحَةُ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ { الم * اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ }
“Allah's greatest name is in these two Ayah: ‘And your deity is One deity, there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He, Ar-Raḥmān, Ar-Raḥīm.’ And the Opening of Al-ʿImrān: ‘Alif. Lām. Mīm. Allah, None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever living, the Sustainer.’”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِِ ( وإلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ ) وَفَاتِحَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ (الم * اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ )
The Prophet ﷺ entered the Masjid and there was a man who had performed Salat and was supplicating. He was saying in his supplication: “O Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, You are the One Who gives blessings, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of glory and generosity (Allāhumma lā ilāha illā ant, al-Mannān, Badīʿus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, Dhal-Jalāli wal Ikrām).” So the Prophet ﷺ said: “Do you know what he has supplicated Allah with? He has supplicated to Allah by His Greatest Name, the one which if He Is called upon by it, He responds, and when He is asked by it, He gives.”
دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَجُلٌ قَدْ صَلَّى وَهُوَ يَدْعُو وَيَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَدْرُونَ بِمَ دَعَا اللَّهَ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى
the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "The Greatest Name of Allah is in these two Verses: And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), La Ilaha Illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.' And at the beginning of Surah Al 'Imran."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ {وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ} وَفَاتِحَةِ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ
The Greatest Name of Allah, if He is called by which He will respond, is in three Surah: Al-Baqarah, Al 'Imran and Ta-Ha. (Hasan)Another chain for something similar from Al-Qasim, from Abu Umamah, from the Prophet (saas).
اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ فِي سُوَرٍ ثَلاَثٍ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَطَهَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعِيسَى بْنِ مُوسَى فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ غَيْلاَنَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ
"The Prophet (saas) heard a man say: 'Allahumma! Inni as'aluka bi-annaka Antallahul-Ahadus-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwlud, 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 (saas) 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.'"
سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ
"The Prophet (saas) heard a man say: 'Allahumma! Inni as'aluka bi-anna lakal-hamd. La ilaha 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 (saas) 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.'"
سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (saas) say: 'Allahumma! Inni asa'luka bismikat-tahirit-tayyibil-mubarak al-ahabbi ilaika, alladhi idha du'ita bihi ajabta, wa idha su'ilta bihi a'taita, wa idhasturhimta bihi rahimta, wa idhastufrijta bihi farrajta (O Allah! I ask You by Your pure, good and blessed Name which is most beloved by You, which if You are called thereby You answer, and if You as asked thereby You give, if You are asked for mercy thereby You bestow mercy, and if You are asked for relief (from distress) thereby You grant relief.'"She said: "He said one day: 'O 'Aishah, do you know that Allah has told me the Name which, if He is called thereby, He responds?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you! Teach it to me.' He said: 'You should not learn it, O 'Aishah.' So I moved aside and sat for a while, then I got up and kissed his head, then I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, teach it to me.' He said: 'You should not learn it, O 'Aishah, and I should not teach it to you, for you should not ask for any worldly things thereby.'" She said: "So I got up and performed ablution, then I prayed two Rak'ah, then I said: 'O Allah, I call upon Allah, and I call upon You, Ar-Rahman (the Most Gracious), and I call upon You, Al-Barr Ar-Rahim (The Most Kind, the Most Merciful), and I call upon You by all Your beautiful Names, those that I know and those that I do not know, (asking) that You forgive me and have mercy on me.' The Messenger of Allah (saas) smiled, then he said: 'It is among the names by which you called upon (Allah).'"

I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man was offering prayer. He then made supplication: O Allah, I ask Thee by virtue of the fact that praise is due to Thee, there is no deity but Thou, Who showest favour and beneficence, the Originator of the Heavens and the earth, O Lord of Majesty and Splendour, O Living One, O Eternal One. The Prophet ﷺ then said: He has supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when supplicated by this name, He answers, and when asked by this name He gives. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1495)

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say about these two verses: "Allah, there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255) and "Alif Lam Mim. Allah, there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence" (Surah Al Imran 3:2). Indeed, the greatest name of Allah is mentioned in them.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي هَذه الْآيَتَيْنِ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] وَ {الم اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [آل عمران 2] إِنَّ فِيهِمَا اسْمَ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمَ

[Machine] A man read at the house of Abdullah Al-Baqara and Al-Imran, then he said, "I have read two surahs in which is the greatest name of Allah. When invoked with it, he answers, and when asked with it, he gives."

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, the greatest name of Allah is in three Surahs of the Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah Taha. So, I searched for it and found it in Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat Al-Kursi (Allahu la ilaha illa huwa al-Hayyul-Qayyum) [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255], and in Surah Al-Imran (Alif Lam Meem Allah la ilaha illa huwa al-Hayyul-Qayyum) [Surah Al-Imran 3:2], and in Surah Taha (And the faces will humble themselves before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence) [Surah Taha 20:111]."

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: "Indeed, the greatest name of Allah is found in three Surahs of the Quran." Isa ibn Musa said, while I was listening, "O Aba Zabir, I heard Ghaylan ibn Anas say that he heard Al-Qasim Abu Abdur Rahman say that he heard Abu Umamah narrate from the Prophet ﷺ: 'Indeed, the greatest name of Allah is found in three Surahs.' Then he mentioned a similar narration from Amr ibn Abi Salamah: 'This does not invalidate the hadith of Al-Walid ibn Muslim, for Al-Walid is more knowledgeable, skillful, and well-acquainted with the hadith of his land, although the two sheikhs did not rely on Al-Qasim Abu Abdur Rahman.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ لَفِي سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى بْنُ مُوسَى وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ يَا أَبَا زَبْرٍ سَمِعْتُ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ لَفِي سُوَرٍ ثَلَاثٍ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِنَحْوِهِ حَدِيثَ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ «هَذَا لَا يُعَلِّلُ حَدِيثَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنَّ الْوَلِيدَ أَحْفَظُ وَأَتْقَنُ وَأَعْرَفُ بِحَدِيثِ بَلَدِهِ عَلَى أَنَّ الشَّيْخَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْتَجَّا بِالْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a man saying: O Allah, I ask Thee, I bear witness that there is no god but Thou, the One, He to Whom men repair, Who has not begotten, and has not been begotten, and to Whom no one is equal, and he said: You have supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when asked with this name He gives, and when supplicated by this name he answers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1493)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ بِالِاسْمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ»
[Machine] He entered the mosque with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and there was a man praying, supplicating and saying, "O Allah, I ask You by virtue of the fact that I bear witness that there is no god but You, the One, the Eternal, who begets not nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His greatest name, which if He is called upon using it, He answers, and if He is asked by it, He gives." And when a man was reciting in a corner of the mosque, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has been given a melodious voice from among the melodious voices of the family of Dawood (David)." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I inform him?" He said, "Yes, inform him." So I informed Abu Musa, and he said, "He will always be my friend."
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي يَدْعُو يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ» وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأ فِي جَانِب المَسْجِدِ فَقَال رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم «لَقَد أُعِطَي مِزْمَاراً مِنْ مَزَامِير آل دَاوُد» وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بن قَيسٍ قَالَ فَقُلتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ أُخْبِرُهُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَخْبِرْهُ» فَأَخْبَرْتُ أَبَا مُوسى فَقَالَ لَنْ تَزَالَ لِي صَدِيقاً
I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man was offering prayer. He then made supplication: O Allah, I ask Thee by virtue of the fact that praise is due to Thee, there is no deity but Thou, Who showest favour and beneficence, the Originator of the Heavens and the earth, O Lord of Majesty and Splendour, O Living One, O Eternal One. The Prophet ﷺ then said: He has supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when supplicated by this name, He answers, and when asked by this name He gives. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1495)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكُ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللهَ بِالِاسْمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The greatest name of Allah is mentioned in these two verses: 'Alif, Lam, Meem. Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence' and 'Your God is one God.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْمُ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {الْم اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} وَ {إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ}
[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that 'Isa bin Yunus narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin Abi Ziyad, who narrated from Shahru bin Hawshab, who narrated from Asmaa bint Yazid. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The greatest name of Allah is in these two verses: 'And your God is one God' (Quran 2:163) and 'Alif Lam Meem. Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence' (Quran 2:255)."
ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَا ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ثنا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْمُ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ} وَ {الْم اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ}
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ : "The greatest name of Allah is mentioned in three Surahs of the Quran: Al-Baqarah, Ale-Imran, and Taha."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْمُ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي ثَلَاثِ سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَطه
[Machine] The greatest name of God, when invoked, answers in three Surahs from the Quran: Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran, and Taha.
اسْمُ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ فِي ثَلَاثِ سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَطه
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The Greatest Name of Allah, when invoked with it, He answers, is in this verse from the family of Imran, 'Say: O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You wills.' until the end of it."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْمُ اللهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ {قُلِ اللهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمَلِكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ} إِلَى آخِرِهِ
[Machine] A recent hadith narrated from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Recite this supplication: O Allah, I ask You by Your Greatest Name and Your Greatest Pleasure." Salma repeated it multiple times, as it is one of the names of Allah the Almighty. I have always heard that Jadd bin Amir had a rock that would rise up without sinking into the water. He was the son of Malik, the son of Fatimah, the daughter of Abi Marthad, from the Kinana tribe descended from Husayn bin Nafar bin Yarbu'.
حَدِيثًا مُسْنَدًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْزَمُوا هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ وَرِضْوَانِكَ الْأَكْبَرِ «» يَقُولُهَا سُلْمَى مِرَارًا فَإِنَّهُ اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللهِ تَعَالَى وَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَسْمَعُ أَنَّ جَدَّ بَنِي عَامِرٍ صَخْرَةٌ يَرْفَعُهَا الْمَاءُ لَا تَرْسُبُ قَالَ وَهُوَ مَالِكُ ابْنُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ كَنَّازِ بْنِ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ نَفَرِ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a man saying: O Allah, I ask Thee, I bear witness that there is no god but Thou, the One, He to Whom men repair, Who has not begotten, and has not been begotten, and to Whom no one is equal, and he said: You have supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when asked with this name He gives, and when supplicated by this name he answers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1493)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى»
"هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى اسْم الله الأَعْظَمِ؟ دُعَاءُ يُونُسَ، فَقَال رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: هَلْ كَانَتْ لِيُونُسَ خَاصَةً؟ قَال: أَلا تَسْمعُ قَوْلَهُ - ﷻ - {وَنَجَّينَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَكَذَلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} فَأَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ دَعَا بِهَا في مَرَضِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً فَمَاتَ في مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ، أُعْطِيَ أَجْرَ شَهيدٍ، وَإنْ بَرَأَ بَرِيءَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ".
"اسْمُ الله الأعْظَمُ الَّذي إذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أجابَ في ثلاثِ سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآن، في الْبَقَرَةِ، وآل عِمْرَانَ، وطَه".
"اسْمُ الله الأَعْظَمُ الَّذي إذَا دُعِيَ بِه أجابَ في هذه الآيَةِ {قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ} الآية" .
"اسمُ الله الَّذي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أجابَ، وإِذَا سُئلَ بِه أعْطى، دعْوَةُ يُونُسَ بنِ مَتَّى" .
"اسْمُ الله الأَعْظمُ في سِتِّ آياتٍ مِنْ آخر سُورَةِ الحْشْرِ".
"اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْألُكَ بأسْمَائِكَ الحُسْنَى مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، وَبِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيم الأعْظَم وَبَاسْمِكَ الْكَبِيرِ الأكْبَرِ".
"الزَمُوا هذا الدُّعاءَ: اللهُمّ إنِّي أسألُكَ باسِمك الأعْظَم، ورِضْوانِك الأكبَرِ، فإِنَّه اسمٌ من أسماء الله" .
"أَتَى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: "اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ، بَديعُ السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرْض، ذَو الْجَلالِ وَالإِكْرامِ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَألَ اللهَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِى إِذا دُعِىَ به أَجَابَ".
"لَقَدْ دَعَا اللهَ بِاسْمِه الأعظَم الدْى إِذَا سُئِل بِه أعْطَى، وإذا دعِى به أَجَابَ".
ش، حم، د، ت، ن، هـ، حب، ك، ض عن أَنس، قال: سمع النبي ﷺ
. . . .
"لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللهَ بِاسْمِه الأَعْظَم الَّذي إِذَا سُئِلَ به أَعْطَى وَإذَا دُعِيَ به أجَابَ".
"يَا عَائِشَةُ: هَلْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ الله دلَّنِى عَلَى الاسْمِ الَّذِى إِذَا دُعِىَ بِهِ أَجَابَ؟ قَالَتْ: عَلِّمْنِى إِيَّاهُ، قَالَ: إِنَهُ لَا يَنْبَغِى لَكِ يا عائِشَةُ".
"إِنَّ اسمَ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمَ الَّذى إِذَا دُعِى به أَجَابَ فِى ثَلَاث سُوَرٍ: الْبقرةِ، وآلِ عِمْرَان، وَطهَ".
