Is it established that the Greatest Name of Allah is (Dhu al-Jalal wa al-Ikram)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is reported in an athar (report from a Companion or successor) to say, "O You who possess Majesty and Honor," and it has been said that this is the Greatest Name of Allah. What is the guidance on this?

Answer:
Yes, and it is reported and authentic that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have been taught by this Majesty and Honor." As for whether it is the Greatest Name of Allah, Allah knows best. Allah has kept the knowledge of the Greatest Name of Allah to Himself so that we do not limit ourselves to it. If He had specified it for us, many people might have limited themselves to it. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) loves to be called by His names and attributes and not to be limited to some of them. Yes.
