Abstract

The discussion regarding the beautiful names of Allah or Asmaul Husna has been ongoing since the early days of Islam until now. There are three hadith that enumerate these names in detail, namely the narrations of al-Tirmizi, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim. Other narrations were narrated without a detailed breakdown of these names. Ibn Hazm was among the early scholars who exerted effort in enumerating these names. By using the methods of analysis and textual studies, the objective of study is to compare similarities and differences between these names. The results of the study indicate that the enumeration of these names is not firmly attributed (marfuʻ) to the Prophet but instead, it is an opinion (ijtihad) from the narrator himself that has been inserted (mudraj) to complete the hadith of Asmaul Husna. Ibn Hazm presents 25 other names that do not match the narrations of al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim.
