(6) Evidence for this name is Allah Most High’s statement: “He is the All-Forgiving, the Loving” (al-Burūj 85:14). (7) Al-Haqq al-Wādih al-Mubīn, p. 69. (8) Al-Tafsīr, 5:626.

٩٩ - الهادي١: قال رحمه الله تعالى: "الهادي أي الذي يهدي ويرشد عباده إلى جميع المنافع وإلى دفع المضار، ويعلمهم ما لا يعلمون ويهديهم بهداية التوفيق والتسديد ويلهمهم التقوى ويجعل قلوبهم منيبة إليه منقادة لأمره"٢. ١٠٠ - الواحد٣: ١٠١ - الواسع٤: قال ﵀: "الواسع الصفات والنعوت ومتعلقاتها بحيث لا يحصى أحد ثناء عليه، بل هو كما اثنى على نفسه، واسع العظمة، والسلطان، والملك، واسع الفضل، والإحسان عظيم الجود والكرم"٥. ١٠٢ - الودود٦: قال رحمه الله تعالى: "الودود هو المحب المحبوب بمعنى واد ومودود٧ فهو الذي يحب أنبياءه ورسله وأتباعهم ويحبونه فهو أحب إليهم من كل شيء قد امتلئت قلوبهم من محبته، ولهجت ألسنتهم بالثناء عليه، وانجذبت أفئدتهم إليه وداً واخلاصاً وإنابة من جميع الوجوه٨. ولا تعادل محبة الله من أصفيائه محبة أخرى، لا في أصلها ولا في كيفيتها ولا في
