Why Allah uses this name
Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā and Sūrat al-Najm both state the act of Allah — He enriched — and the enumeration lists the name.
Take this with you
Ask Him for enough and for contentment with it; that is the enrichment He describes.
'And that it is He who enriches (aghnā) and suffices' (53:48).
Qurʾān 53:48; the name itself listed in Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3507 (the enumeration of the ninety-nine names)
Where it appears in the Qur'an
This name is reported in the list of ninety-nine, but the Qur'an says it as a verb or a phrase rather than as this single word, so there is no word-for-word occurrence to list. The reasoning above cites the āyāt it is taken from.
