Is the hadith about the supplication for worry and sorrow very weak, and is the narrator Al-Juhani entirely unknown or is his identity doubted? Are the supporting narrations and follow-ups weak, and do they not strengthen the hadith? And is it true that the majority of scholars adopt a hadith like this and base their belief that the Beautiful Names are innumerable upon it?

Scholars have differed on the grading of the Hadith "al-Hamm wa al-Huzn" (worry and grief) for four reasons: their disagreement on identifying the narrator, Abu Salama al-Juhani; their disagreement regarding Fudayl ibn Marzuq; their disagreement on whether Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Mas'ud heard from his father; and their disagreement on the validity of strengthening the Hadith with its supporting narrations and corroborating evidence. Despite this difference, a number of scholars, such as Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar and Al-Albani, deemed the Hadith hasan (good), and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim authenticated it. For those who find the Hadith authentic, it is permissible to use it as evidence for the existence of names of Allah Almighty that we do not know, and that the invalidity of the proof does not necessitate the invalidity of the proven point, and that a Hadith weak in its chain of narration may be sound in meaning, just as other Sharia evidences indicate that Allah Almighty cannot be encompassed by knowledge, and that there are praises and names of Allah that humans cannot comprehend.
