Is the meaning of "أحصاها" (he enumerated them) in the Noble Hadith "من أحصاها دخل الجنة" (whoever enumerates them shall enter Paradise) restricted to only the Most Beautiful Names of Allah, or does it also include the attributes of Allah?

"Knowing the Most Beautiful Names of Allah and ‘enumerating’ them includes knowing them and believing in them, and being certain that they are attributes of Allah, عز وجل, and not merely memorizing them. 'Enumerating' them involves believing in their truthfulness, acting upon them, and believing in their implications; because every name denotes an attribute. The names of Allah have three connotations: correspondence to the Essence, inclusion of the attribute derived from it, and implication of the remaining attributes. Knowing the sublime attributes indicated by the Most Beautiful Names is part of knowing the Names themselves."
