Is "al-Hayy al-Qayyum" the Greatest Name of Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Greatest Name of Allah is mentioned in more than one hadith as al-Hayy al-Qayyum?

Answer:
Meaning "the Great," the implication of this—and Allah knows best—is that this appeared in many hadiths as "al-A'zam," and Allah knows its meaning best. It is a superlative name meaning "the Great," and all of Allah's names are great (Exalted and Majestic is He).
