Question Summary:
Asmaul Husnaa Question Detail:
I have a question relating to virtues of Asma ul Husna. I have been using information on the link below and have been asked about reference to information. I am not 100% sure about exact reference as this is not quoted on the web page. Please can you guide me on virtues of each of the 99 names of Allah SWT with reference of which Hadith or verses of Qur’an the information has come from as I feel that I may have shared false information and feeling really bad about it.
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Allah Taa’la mentions in the Quran:
وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا

It is mentioned in a Hadith:
