Ibn Hajar list
The 99 names Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani compiled from the Qur’an in Fath al-Bari.
The explicit enumeration in Fath al-Bari, XI, 222–223 is followed; the discussion continues on page 224. This is Ibn Hajar’s compilation. Its set of names was compared with the TDV Encyclopaedia of Islam table; the displayed order follows Ibn Hajar’s own text.
Academic context and philosophical reading
Source and method
The list in Fath al-Bari is Ibn Hajar’s Qur’anic compilation. In this discussion he considers repeated wording and meaning, and does not treat ninety-nine as a limit on all divine names. The source order is retained here (XI, 222–224).
Philosophical reading · project interpretation
A list embodies choices about which expressions count as independent names. Names, attributes, verbs and phrases occupy different grammatical levels; a shared root alone does not establish identical meaning. Differences in title counts therefore do not by themselves prove theological superiority or error. This paragraph is the project’s philosophical interpretation, not a quotation attributed to the source author.
Relationship to Q99/Hafs
These historical lists retain their own order for comparison. Q99/Hafs uses its accepted first-witness, direct nominal attribution and complete-phrase criteria. An unmatched title does not imply rejection; the accepted Q99 order remains unchanged.
Numbers belong to this historical list’s own order. Green marks a Q99 title match; amber marks a phrase relationship. Latin names follow Turkish spelling conventions as a reading aid.

Absence from Q99’s selected 99 titles does not establish rejection of a name or its absence from the Qur’an. Its wording and context require their own assessment.
