Abstract
One of the most important issues in the Shi'ite theological foundations is divine attributes which is mentioned in various Qur'anic verses with different names and attributes. According to rational arguments and narrated hadiths; divine attributes are of His own essence and their difference is conceptual. But the problem is that in some of the narrated hadiths of Imam Reza (as), the volition is considered as attribute of action. By presenting a philosophical-theological interpretation of these hadiths, Mulla Sadra does not regard them as incompatible with the attributes of God, but according to Allameh Tabataba'i, these hadiths are explicit in the existence of the attribute of the volition. In the present research, by using philosophical-theological analysis of these hadiths and the help of other hadiths of Imam Reza (as), it is proved that these hadiths are not inconsistent with the natural intrinsic of the volition and the interpretation of Allameh Tabataba'i does not appear to be correct.
