As-Sami' (The All-Hearer)—unified with Al-Mustami'—signifies that Allah hears every supplication, whisper, and cry in every language simultaneously without confusion. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 46 times across 46 verses in 25 surahs, from Quran 2:127 (Surah Al-Baqarah) to Quran 58:1 (Surah Al-Mujadila).
Reflection: Knowing As-Sami' hears even silent pleas encourages constant heartfelt du'a and mindful, truthful speech.

فلم تقتلوهم ولكن الله قتلهم وما رميت إذ رميت ولكن الله رمى وليبلي المؤمنين منه بلاء حسنا إن الله سميع عليم
And not you kill them, but Allah killed them. And not you threw when you threw, but Allah threw and that He may test the believers from Him (with) a trial good. Indeed, Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.
إذ أنتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب أسفل منكم ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولكن ليقضي الله أمرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة وإن الله لسميع عليم
When you (were) on the nearer side (of) the world (valley) and they (were) on the side, the farther and the caravan (was) lower than you. And if you (had) made an appointment certainly you would have failed in the appointment. But that might accomplish Allah a matter (that) was destined, that (might be) destroyed (those) who (were to be) destroyed on a clear evidence and (might) live (those) who (were to) live on a clear evidence. And indeed, Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.
ذلك بأن الله لم يك مغيرا نعمة أنعمها على قوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم وأن الله سميع عليم
That (is) because Allah not is One Who changes a favor which He had bestowed on a people until they change what (is) in themselves. And indeed, Allah (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.
وإن جنحوا للسلم فاجنح لها وتوكل على الله إنه هو السميع العليم
And if they incline to peace, then you (also) incline to it, and put (your) trust in Allah. Indeed, He (is) All-Hearer, All-Knower.
