You can find variations of the word muhaymin, like muhaiminan in Surah Maidah verse 48 where Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ declares the Qur'an as being the book that will be well-guarded over the other books: "He knows what is in the heavens and earth He knows what you conceal and what you reveal God knows very well the secrets of every heart." ( 64:4) He is the ever-watchful, not just limited to the superficial, He can see all which is concealed in the hearts. He is the superseder, nothing will overtake or usurp Him. The Absolute Authority of Al-Muhaymin: The name Al-Muhaymin refers to His supreme nature as being the guardian or the absolute authority. Similar to the Arabic expression, 'haymana al-ta'ir alafirdkhih' meaning that the bird took its young ones under the protection of its wings. Arabic Root: From the root ha-mim-nun (ه م ن), which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to watch over, oversee, protect, guard to be a witness to offer security and peace to determine what is true, to extend a wing.
