Some allegorical verses in the Quran and some of the disputed narrations in the Hadith are problematic when interpreted literally. In order to resolve such disputes, Muslim scholars have developed certain methods, one of which is ta'wil. "Reported attributes" is one of the well-known issues that give rise to various thoughts in the implementation of ta'wil method, whether it should be used or not. Because that issue, not only involves allegorical verses and disputed hadith but also expository qualities of Arabic language extensively used in it. This study deals with Razi's (d.606) interpretation of "reported attributes" with the ta'wil method in his work al-Asas al-Takdith. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
