The answer

The establishment of the Beautiful Names (Asma al-Husna) is based on definitive textual evidence from the Quran and . Scholars differ regarding the establishment of the names "Al-Saboor" (The Patient) and "Al-Dharr" (The Harmer) as names of Allah Almighty, though they are established as attributes. These two names were mentioned in some narrations of the concerning the Beautiful Names, but the majority of hadith critics weaken this addition. There is no explicit text from the Quran or authentic Sunnah that establishes these two names. If they were to be established, then the name "Al-Dharr" is among the conjoined names that are not mentioned individually but are always paired with their opposite, "Al-Nafi'" (The Benefactor), because perfection lies in the conjunction of these names with their counterparts.
