البر

al-Barr — The Beneficent. It is name number 79 in the enumeration of God's most beautiful names in the hadith of Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) at al-Tirmidhi ¹; Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya devoted a chapter of Jala' al-Afham to explaining these names ².

The name occurs in the Qur'an, among them: 10:22، 17:67، 17:68، 17:70، 2:177، 2:189، 27:63، 29:65، 3:92، 30:41، 31:32، 5:2، 5:96، 52:28، 6:59، 6:63، 6:97.

Abu Hurayra reports: 'God has ninety-nine names — a hundred less one; whoever enumerates them enters Paradise' ³. Reports naming this name include: 27، 2552، 2553، 880.

And of kindness: Uways al-Qarni's devotion to his mother was such that his fame reached heaven — the Prophet ﷺ told his Companions of him before they ever met, though Uways had never seen him. ³
