Are the attributes other than the described, and what does this statement mean, and does seeking refuge in Allah's perfect words prove it, and what is the ruling on worshipping the attribute, and does he who permits it make God more than one?
The attribute is not the described. Seeking refuge in Allah's attributes, such as His words and mercy, is seeking refuge in Him, the Exalted, and is not worship of the attribute. This differs from supplicating the attribute, such as saying, "O Allah's knowledge, teach me," which is an innovation and an act of disbelief by consensus of the Muslims. Asking Allah by His names, attributes, and words is permissible and legislated.
