(Explanation that al-Hayy is a necessary attribute and al-Qayyum is a necessary attribute that encompasses others, and that they are the Greatest Name of Allah) And al-Hayy is followed by it, so the attributes of perfection are the two poles of the horizon of its sky

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And al-Hayy is followed by it, so the attributes of perfection are the two poles of the horizon of its sky"
That is, the sky of perfection; it is correct and permissible to say "its sky", meaning the sky of attributes. So both are correct, but the discussion is about the establishment of the transmitted versions (nasakh). I have "his sky" (samawahu)
"Al-Hayy is followed by it ***" means that it follows it in a verbal sense in the author's composition. As for in the Qur'an, al-Qayyum is the one that follows al-Hayy, because al-Hayy is a necessary attribute, whereas al-Qayyum is a necessary attribute that encompasses others. Considering that its meaning is that Allah subsisted by Himself, which is necessary, and that others subsisted by Him, which is encompassing, he said
"So al-Hayy and al-Qayyum, the attributes will never be absent from them, by explanation"
And for this reason, it was reported in the hadith that they are the Greatest Name of Allah, by which, if He is called, He responds, and by which, if He is asked, He gives. Yes.
