Translation

Asma daughter of Yazid reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: "Allah's Greatest Names is in these two verses: "And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God), none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving' and the beginning of Surah Al 'Imran, "A.L.M Allah, there is no deity but He, the Living, the Eternal." Sunan Abi Dawud 1496 [Hasan (Al-Albani) Sunan Abu Dawud 1496]
