4ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الاشْعَرِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام)
فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلله الاسْماءُ الْحُسْنى فَادْعُوهُ بِها قَالَ نَحْنُ وَالله الاسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى الَّتِي لا يَقْبَلُ الله مِنَ الْعِبَادِ عَمَلاً إِلا بِمَعْرِفَتِنَا.
4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash'ari and Muhammad ibn Yahya both narrate from Ahmad ibn Ishaq, from Sa'dan ibn Muslim, from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) regarding the verse of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "To Allah belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them" (Qur'an 7:180).
He (peace be upon him) said: "By Allah, we are the 'Most Beautiful Names' through which Allah does not accept any deeds from His servants except through knowing us."
