Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً إِلَّا وَاحِدًا مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» . وَفِي رِوَايَة: «وَهُوَ وتر يحب الْوتر»

Translation

Abu Hurayrah (may God be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘God Most High has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one; whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.’ Another version says: ‘He is Witr, the One, and loves what is odd-numbered.’ Agreed upon. The Arabic source records it as agreed upon (al-Albani).
