Be warned, "He who has no knowledge of how to use a sword will injure himself." There must be respect, care, and good intentions or an injury could occur. The effect of continuous repetition with bad intention or not according to a way prescribed by a shaikh could cause harm to members of one's household or oneself. This true story of Osman Baba illustrates the point.
Osman Baba repeated Ya-Qahhar (Oh Destroyer) many times until he became obsessed by this Attribute. If he threw a piece of cotton at someone and it hit him, he would die. The people complained to waliyuddin "Kuddisa Sirruh" who told them to take a piece of cotton and throw it at the back of Osman. When it hit him he turned and said, "Oh Waliyuddin, you have killed me ", and he died.
The power was given to him by ALLAH because he repeated the Name. There are some who want something eagerly or impatiently and attempt to receive it by repetition of the Names without first knowing whether this would be good for them. The keep repeating without knowing. The keep saying, Want It. They do not say, "ALLAH, if it is good for me, let me have it"
