Where this Name comes from
This Name does not appear in the Quran in this exact form; it comes from the list of Names reported by at-Tirmidhi. Its meaning appears in verses such as:
وَإِن يَمۡسَسۡكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرّٖ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يَمۡسَسۡكَ بِخَيۡرٖ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good - then He is over all things competent
