B ishr al-Hafi saw a piece of paper lyingin the mud at the side of the road. Hiseye fell on the Divine Name written inone of the sentences. He li fted thepaper, cleande it, bought some scent, perfumedit, and placed it i n a cavi ty of the wall of hisHouse. That ni ght he heard a voice say to hi m:"O' Bi shr, you have made My Name fr agrant inthis world and I will make yours fragrant in thisworld and the next."

T here are neither ni nety-ni ne nor one thousandNames of A ll ah. T he exact number of A ll ah'sNames is known only to Him.
