Among the 99 names of Allah there are “Al-Hadi” and “Ar-Rashid” which in English both are translated as “The Guide” (the latter in some places is also translated as “The Righteous Teacher”.

I have read things like in the 99 names of Allah (SWT) if u read some particular names for a particular number of times there are some benefits, for example- “The benefit of As-Sabar- Anyone who repeats this name 100 times before sunrise will be safeguarded against all calamities for the remaining of the day. Moreover, Allah will cause his enemies not to utter a single word against him. Any person in difficulty should repeat this for 1020 times he will soon find relief and be granted peace and contentment of heart Insha Allah.” Is this authentic? Other names have their benefits as well, this is just one example that I quoted. Can this be read? Also, can you tell me what is the benefit/reward of learning the 99 names of Allah (SWT)?
