Which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest?

Ubayy bin Ka'b (radiAllahu anhu) reported

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 

"Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest? 

I said: 'Allah and His messenger know best.' 

He (peace be upon him) again said: 'Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book, according to you, is the greatest?'

I (Abu Mundhir) replied: It is 'Allahu la ilaha illaHuwal-Hayyul-Qayyum'.[2:255]




"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."[Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]
