Allah, Blessed and High, does not ridicule nor mock nor scheme nor deceive.







 Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ahmad b. Younis al-Ma`adhi narrated to us, he said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sa`eed al-Kufi al-Hamadani narrated to us, he said: `Ali b. al-Hasan Fudhaal narrated to us, from his father who said:
I asked al-Rida `Ali b. Musa [a] about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, "No indeed; but upon that day they shall be veiled from their Lord" [83:15]
He [a] said: Indeed Allah, the Blessed and High, cannot be ascribed with a place that he settles therein, and is thus concealed in it from his slaves. Instead, the Might and Exalted means by this that they will be concealed from the rewards (thawaab) of their Lord.
And I asked him about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, "and thy Lord comes, and the angels, rank on rank," [89:22]
He replied: Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, cannot be attributed with coming or going. (He is) Far above transferring (Himself). Indeed (He) means by this: "and the decree (amr) of your Lord comes, and the angels, rank on rank".
And I asked him about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, "Will they wait until Allah comes to them in shadows of the clouds, and angels" [2:210]
He replied: Say: "Will they wait until Allah comes to them with angels, in shadows of the clouds," And this is how it descended.
And I asked him about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, "Allah ridicules them" [9:79], and the saying: "Allah mocks them" [2:15], and the saying: "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed" [3:54], and the saying: "(the hypocrites) seek to deceive Allah, but it is Allah who deceives them" [4:142]
He replied: Indeed Allah, Blessed and High, does not ridicule nor mock nor scheme nor deceive. Rather Allah, Mighty and Exalted, requites them the requital for (their) ridiculing, and the requital for mocking, and the requital for scheming, and the requital for their deceiving. Far above is Allah from what the unjust say (regarding Him), High and Great.
