Unto God (Allah) belong the Most Beautiful Names (al-asmā' al-ḥusnā); so supplicate Him by means of them... (Q. 7:180a).

 ‏قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلرَّحْمَٟنَ ۖ أَيًّۭا مَّا تَدْعُوا۟ فَلَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَٱبْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٟلِكَ سَبِيلًۭا ‎

Say : Supplicate God God (Allāh) or supplicate the All-Merciful (al-rahmān): by whichever Name ye call upon Him [it suffices] for to Him belong  the Most Beautiful Names (al-asmā' al-ḥusnā) (Q. 17:110)

The Ninety-Nine Names of God

• URL: http://www.islamicity.com/Mosque/99names.htm

From James Robson's translation of the Mishkat al Masabih Vol. 1 (= English translation with explanatory notes) Rep. Lahore: Sh. Muhammad Ashraf, 1990,   Chap. 1 Book X, `God's Names', p. 483. I have modified the transliteration and added the 1-99 numbering of the Names  as well  as included a red asterisk indicating those Names not found in the Qur'ān. Alternative translations are sometimes placed in square brackets as spelled out on pp. 49-50 of the  Burrell & Daher rendering of the Hadith from Abu Huraira in their excellent 1992 translation of al-Ghazzali's al-Maqsad al-asnā (see bib. below). Occasionally I have added my own rendering...

"Abu Hurayra reported God's messenger as saying,

"God, the Most High, has ninety-nine names. He who retains them in his memory will enter paradise. He is [1] God [Allāh] than whom there is no God, [2] the Compassionate (al-Rahman), [3] the Merciful (al-Raḥīm), [4] the King (al-Mālik), [5] the Holy (al-Quddūs), [6] the source of Peace [the Flawless] (al-Salām), [7] the Preserver of security [the Faithful] (al-Mu'min), [8] the Protector [Guardian] (al-Muhaymin), [9] the Mighty (al-'Azīz), [10] the Overpowering [Compeller] (al-Jabbār), [11] the Great in Majesty (al-Mutakabbir), [12] the Creator (al-Khāliq), [13] the Maker (al-Bāri'), [14] the Fashioner (al-Muṣawwir), [15] the Forgiver (al-Ghaffar), [16] the Dominant (al-Qahhār), [17] the Bestower (al-Wahhāb), [18] the Provider (al-Razzāq), [19] the Decider [Opener] (al-Fattāḥ), [20] the Knower [Omniscient] (al-'Alīm), [21] the Withholder [He Who contracts] (al-Qābiḍ), [22] the Plentiful Giver (al-Bāsit), [23] the Abaser (al-Khāfid), [24] the Exalter (al-Rāfi'), [25] the Honourer (al-Mu'izz), [26] the Humiliator (al-Muzill), [27] the Hearer (al-Samī`), [28] the Seer (al-Baṣīr), [29] the Judge (al-Ḥakam), [30] the Just (al-'Adl), [31] the Gracious [the Benevolent] (al-Laṭīf), [32] the Informed (al-Khabīr), [33] the Clement [the Mild] (al-Ḥalīm), [34] the Incomparably Great (al-'Azīm), [35] the Forgiving (al-Ghafūr), [36] the Rewarder [Grateful] (al-Shakūr), [37] the Most High (al-'Alī), [38] the Most Great (al-Kabīr), [39] the Preserver (al-Ḥafīẓ), [40] the Sustainer [Nourisher] (al-Muqīt), [41] the Reckoner (al-Ḥasīb), [42] the Majestic (al-Jalīl), [43] the Generous (al-Karīm), [44] the Watcher [All-Observant] (al-Raqīb), [45] the Answerer (al-Mujīb), [46] the Liberal [the Vast] (al-Wāsi'), [47] the Wise (al-Ḥakim), [48] the Loving (al-Wadūd), [49] the All-Glorious (al-Majīd), [50] the Raiser [the Resurrector] (al-Bā'ith), [51] the Witness (al-Shahīd), [52] the Real [the Truth] (al-Ḥaqq), [53] the Trustee (al-Wakīl), [54] the Strong (al-Qawī), [55] the Firm (al-Matīn), [56] the Patron (al-Walī), [57] the Praiseworthy (al-Ḥamīd), [58] the All-knowing (al-Muḥṣī), [59] the Originator (al-Mubdi'), [60] the Restorer to life (al-Mu'īd), [61] the Giver of life (al-Muḥyī), [62] the Giver of death (al-Mumīt), [63] the Living (al-Ḥayy), [64] the Eternal [Self-Subsusting] (al-Qayyūm), [65] the Self-Sufficient (al-Wājid), [66] the Grand [Magnificent] (al-Mājid), [67] the One (al-Wāḥid), [68] He to whom men repair [the Eternal] (al-Ṣamad), [69] the Powerful (al-Qādir), [70] the Prevailing (al-Muqtadir), [71] the Advancer [the Promoter] (al-Muqaddim), [72] the Delayer (al-Mu'akhkhir), [73] the First (al-Awwal), [74] the Last (al-Ākhir), [75] the Outward [Manifest] (al-Ẓāhir), [76] the Inward (al-Bāṭin), [77] the Governor [Ruler] (al-Wālī), [78] the Sublime (al-Muta'ālī), [79] the Ample Beneficent [Righteous] (al-Barr), [80] the Acceptor of Repentance (al-Tawwāb), [81] the Avenger (al-Muntaqim), [82] the Pardoner (al-'Afuw), [83] the Kindly (al-Ra'ūf), [84] the Ruler of Kingdom (Mālik al-Mulk), [85] the Lord of Majesty and Splendor (Dhu'l-Jalāl wa'l-Ikrām), [86] the Equitable (al-Muqsiṭ), [87] the Gatherer (al-Jāmi'), [88] the Independent [Rich] (al-Ghanī), [89] the Enricher (al-Mughnī), [90] The Depriver [Protector] (al-Māni'), [91] the Harmer [Punisher]  (al-Ḍārr), [92] the Benefiter (al-Nāfi'), [93] the Light (al-Nur), [94] the Guide (al-Hādī), [95] the First Cause (al-Badī'), [96] the Enduring (al-Bāqī), [97] the Inheritor (al-Wārith), [98] the Director (al-Rashīd), [99] the Patient (al-Ṣabūr)."

Some Shi`i versions of the Ninety-Name names of God

A tradition traced back to the first Shi`i Imam `Ali ibn Abi Ṭālib (d. 40/661) lists of  ninety-nine Names of God in a version similar to the Sunni Hadith of Abu Huraira cited above. It can be found, for example, in the al-Miṣbāḥ fi al-Adu`iyya wa'l-ṣalawāt wa'l-ziyārāt wa'l-ajwāz wa'l-`awdhāt of the important Imami Shi`i expert on devotional literatures Shaykh Taqī al-Dīn al-Kaf`amī [al-`Āmilī] ( d. 900/1494-5) (see below). Within this bulky and important work several versions of the ninety-nine Names of God are spelled out as recorded in various Islamic literatures. Within the 32nd section of the al-Miṣbāḥ of al-Kaf`amī  three versions are recorded. The first version is that recorded by Shaykh `Abu al-`Abbās Aḥmad ibn Muhammad ibn Fahd al-Hillī (fl. 9th cent AH = 15th-16th cent. CE) in his `Uddat al-Da`ī (“The Preparedness of the Supplicator”) where the tradition cited has a chain of transmission going back from the eighth Imam `Alī al-Riḍā' (d. 203/818) to the first Imam `Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib and begins [a green asterisk marks Names not found in the Sunni transmitted Abu Hurayra list given above]:

"God (Allāh) has ninety-nine Names (al-asmā'). Whosoever supplicates thereby will assuredly be answered and whoso is enumerates them will assuredly enter the Garden of Paradise (al-jannat). They are [1] God (Allāh); [2] the Unique (al-Wāḥid) [= 67]; [3] the One (al-Aḥad); [4] the Eternal (al-Ṣamad); [5]  the First (al-Awwal) [=73];  [6]  the Last (al-Ākhir) [=74]; [7] the Hearer (al-Samī`) [= 27]; [8] the Seer (al-Baṣīr) [=28]; [9] the Powerful (al-Qadīr) [cf. 69]; [10] the Wrathful [Victorious] (al-Qāhir), [=XX]; [11]The Elevated (al-`Aliyy]; [12] The Most Elevated (al- A`lā); [13] The Eternal (al-Bāqi); [14] The Wonderful [Revolutionary] (al-Badī`); [15] The Creator (al-Bāri'); [16] The Most Generous (al-Akram); [17] The Manifest (al-Ẓāhir); [18] The Hidden (al-Bāṭin); [19] The Living One (al-Ḥayy); [20] The Wise (al-Ḥakīm); [21] The All-Knowing (al-`Alīm); [22] The Clement [the Mild] (al-Ḥalīm); [23] The Preserver (al-Ḥafīẓ); [24] The True One (al-Ḥaqq); [25] The Reckoner (al-Ḥasīb) [= 41]; [26] The Praiseworthy (al-Ḥamīd) [= 41];  [27] The  Welcoming [Hospitable] (al-Ḥafiyy); [28] The Lord (al-Rabb);  [29] the Compassionate (al-Rahman) [=2]; [30] the Merciful (al-Raḥīm) [=3]; [31] The Disperser (al-Dhari`)*; [32] The Provider (al-Razzāq); [33] The Watcher [All-Observant] (al-Raqīb) [= 44]; [34]  The Kindly (al-Ra'ūf) [=83]; [35] The Seer (al-Rā'ī)*;  [36] The Source of Peace [the Flawless] (al-Salām) [=6];  [37] The Preserver of Security [the Faithful] (al-Mu'min) [=7]; [38] The Protector [Guardian] (al-Muhaymin) [=8]; [39] the Mighty (al-'Azīz) [=9]; [40] The Overpowering [Compeller] (al-Jabbār) [=10]; [41] The Great in Majesty (al-Mutakabbar) [=11];  [42] The Master [Overlord] (al-Sayyid)*; [43] The Glorified (al-Subbūḥ)*; [44] The Witness (al-Shahīd); [45] The Truthful (al-Ṣādiq);  [46] The (al-Ṣāni`) [47] The Purifier (al-Tāhir);  [48] The Just (al-`Adl); [49] The  Obliterator [Effacer of Sin] (al-`Afuww) [=82]; [50]  The Forgiver (al-Ghafūr) [=35];  [51] The Wealthy [Rich] (al-Ghanī) [=88]; [52] The  Helper [Succorer] (al-Ghiyāth)*; [53] The  Cleaver  (al-Fāṭir); [54] The Single (al-Fard)*; [55] The Opener (al-Fattāḥ) [=19]; [56] The Splitter [Dispeller](al-Fāliq)*; [57]  The Pre-Existent [Ancient] (al-qadīm)*; [58]  The Sovereign [King] (al-Malik) [cf. 4]; [59] The Holy (al-Quddūs) [=5]; [60]  The Strong [Powerful] (al-Qawiyy) [= 54];  [61] The Near One (al-Qarīb)*; [62] The Self-Subsisting (al-Qayyūm) [=64]; [63]  The Withholder [He Who contracts] (al-Qābiḍ) [=21];  [64]The One Who expands (al-bāsiṭ) [=22]; [65] The Judge (al-Qāḍī)*; [66] The Grand [Magnificent] (al-Majīd) [=66]; [67] The Patron [Guardian] (al-Walī) [cf. 77]; [68]  The  Munificent (al-Mannān)*; [69] The All-Encompassing (al-Muḥīṭ)*; [70] The Perspicuous [Evident] (al-Mubīn)*; [710] The Nourisher (al-Muqīt) [=40]; [72] The Fashioner (al-muṣawwar) [=14]; [73] The Generous (al-Karīm) [=43]; [74] The Great (al-Kabīr) [=38]; [75] the All-Sufficing (al-Kāfi)*; [76] the Discloser (al-Kashif)*, [77] The Injurer [Punisher] (al-Ḍurir)* [cf. 91], [78] The Uneven [Odd Number] (al-Witr)*; [79] The Light (al-Nūr)[=93]; [80] The Bestower (al-Wahhāb) [=17]; [81] The Victorious (al-Nāṣir)*; [82] The All-Encompassing [Vast] (al-Wāsi`)[46]; [83] The Loving One (al-Wadūd) [=48]; [84] The Guide (al-Hādī) [=94]; [85] The Trustworthy [Faithful] (al-Wafī)*; [86] The Trustee (al-Wakīl) [=53] [87] The Inheritor (al-Wārith) [=97]; [88] The Doer of Good (al-Barr) [=79]; [89] The Raiser of the Dead [Ressurrector] (al-Bā`ith) [=50]; [90] The Ever-Relenting (al-Tawwāb) [=80]; [91] The Majestic [Glorious]  (al-Jalīl) [=42]; [92] The Magnanimous [Generous] (al-Jawād)*; [93]  The Wholly Aware (al-Khabīr) [=32]; [94] the Creator (al-Khāliq) [=12]; [95] The Best of the Victorious Ones (Khayr al-Nāṣirīn)*, [96] The Devout [Pious] (al-Dayyān)*, [97] The   Grateful (al-Shakūr) [=36], [98] the Benevolent [Subtle] (al-Laṭīf) [=31], [99] The Healer (al-Shāfi).* " (Arabic text as cited in al-Kaf`amī, al-Miṣbāḥ [Beirut: Mu`assat al-Tarikh al-`Arabiyya, 1425/2004], 399-400; trans.

"The present work deals with anthropomorphism and interpretation of the Qur'an in the theology of the Zaidite imam al-Qasim ibn Ibrahim (785-860 AD). The edition and annotated translation of al-Qasim's epistle Kitab al-Mustarshid is preceded by a detailed introduction, which treats early Islamic theology. For the abrogation of the literal meanings of Qur'anic anthropomorphic expressions, the author uses similes, idioms and phrases in Arabic, pieces of evidence from ancient Arabic poetry and rational arguments which often reflect the Mu'tazilite ways of dealing with anthropomorphism. The second subject, the place of the Qur'an in al-Qasim's writings and his methods of interpretation of the Qur'an, bears directly upon his doctrines in general and upon his doctrine of anti-anthropomorphism in particular, and also contributes to the understanding of the development of Qur'anic exegesis in the first half of the ninth century"..

This orthodox Malikī Sunnī scholar  wrote an over 300 page devotional compilation entitled al-Du`ā al-māthūr wa ādābah... (2nd ed. Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1423/2003). Within it he included a fifteen page sixth chapter entitled  Fī ma`rifat ism Allāh al-a`ẓam... ("On the Gnosis of the Mightiest Name of God") adding that "when the supplicant has supplicated thereby he will assuredly be answered and when he requests something it will indeed be granted". (p.85). No supplication is more powerful in Islam than that in which the Mightiest Name of God  is contained.
