Muhaymin comes from the root haa-meem-noon , which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to oversee, protect, and guard, and the second is to witness. The third main meaning is to determine the truth.
The root of muhaymin also means to extend a wing, like a hen protecting her chicks.
Al-Muhaymin is the One who observes, controls, looks after, completely covers us and judges us by the truth.
AlHafiz:
From the root h-f-z which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to preserve, guard, protect
to keep, retain, take care of, tend
to prevent from perishing or becoming lost
to be watchful, mindful, attentive, vigilant
This name is used in the Qur’ān. For example, see 11:57
