A transitive attribute only fathomable when attributed to its opposite.
الشرح المختصر
"As-Sifaat al-'Idaafiyyah" (Transitive attributes): are nominal attributes lacking existential presence, only fathomable when attributed to their opposites. In other words, it is a transitive attribute such as the attribute of creation; its meaning (according to the Deniers of Allah's attributes) is not affirming Allah's attribute of creation, rather it means existence of a created being; likewise, the attributes of giving life and causing death; or any other transitive attribute of action.
