None of the above
The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred except for one; whoever encompasses them will enter Paradise.”
Surat Alaq, Allah said, “ عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ” [He has] “Taught man that which he knew not” (96:5)
While the the Prophet (SAW) was alive he said that on the day of judgement he will be taught names by Allah he currently doesn’t know.
Narrated by Imam Ahmad: The Prophet(SAW) said “Whoever is afflicted by anxiety or grief, then let them say “Oh Allah, I am your servant, the son of your servant, the son of your maid-servant, I ask you by every name you have, that you have revealed in your book, or taught to any of your creation, or you kept to yourself in the knowledge of the unseen. I ask you to make the Quran the spring of my heart...”
The names we have in the Quran and the Sunnah, there are more than 99 names of Allah. Some scholars counted to 140 names. Al- Qurtabi came up with 200 hundred name. Some scholars even came up with 1,000 names but those are a stretch.
The statement that the Prophet (SAW) says: I do not have the ability to praise you. You are as you praise yourself.
