Did the Sahaabah interpret (make ta'weel) of the allegorical verses of the Qur'aan?

Answer

The Sahaabah did not indulge in polemics, philosophy and the like as had become necessary in later years when Greek philosophy was translated into Arabic and Muslims began corrupting their Aqaaid (beliefs), and different baatil sects came into existence. Ta'weel within the confines of the Shariah had become necessary in the debate to negate and neutralize the heretics.
