What is the validity of the reports stating that the Greatest Name of Allah is "Ya Hu Ya Man La Hu Illa Hu"?
First: The Rafidi Shia are among the misguided sects. They are the most untruthful of people and the most prone to fabricating lies against Allah and His Messenger, as stated by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
Second: The book "Bihar al-Anwar" by al-Majlisi is one of the famous books of the Rafidah, known for being filled with lies, fabrications, and misguidance.
Third: What al-Majlisi mentioned in "Bihar al-Anwar" about Ali ibn Abi Talib teaching the Greatest Name as "Ya Hu, Ya Man La Hu Illa Hu" has a corrupted chain of narration, because "Wahb ibn Wahb al-Qurashi," who is mentioned in the , is a great liar, by agreement of the scholars.
Fourth: Remembering Allah with the pronoun "Hu" (He) or supplicating with it, such as "Ya Hu, Ya Hu," are innovations introduced into the religion.
Fifth: Several authentic prophetic traditions have been reported clarifying Allah's Greatest Name.
