we have the explanation of this name of Allaah in the authentic narration in which the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said "وأنت الباطن فليس دونك شيء"
i saw that this was translated as "the Most Near" in many places,
but can someone mention if any of the scholars said this?
because Shaykh Abdul Muhsin al-Abbaad said concerning it:
"Al-Baatin: meaning that nothing is hidden from Allaah, azza wa jal, rather He knows the hidden and apparent affairs, and He surrounds all things"
and Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen said:
"Al-Baatin: He knows the hidden affairs, and He surrounds all things in knowledge, power, authority, and so on"
