علي بن فضال، عن أبيه، عن الرضا علي بن موسى عليهما السلام، قال: سألته عن قول الله عز وجل (سخر الله منهم) وعن قول الله عز وجل: (الله يستهزئ بهم) وعن قوله: (ومكروا ومكر الله) وعن قوله (يخادعون الله وهو خادعهم) فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا يسخر ولا يستهزئ ولا يمكر ولا يخادع ولكنه عز وجل يجازيهم جزاء السخرية وجزاء الاستهزاء، وجزاء المكر والخديعة، تعالى الله عما يقول الظالمون علوا كبيرا.

Ali ibn Fuddal on the authority of his father that I asked Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (AS) about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: "Allah will pay them back their scoffing," (9:79) and about His Word: "Allah shall pay them back their mockery," (2:15) and about His Word: "And they planned and Allah (also) planned," (8:30) and about His Word: "They strive to deceive Allah, and He shall requite their deceit to them." (4:142) Consequently, he (AS) replied, “Verily, Allah, the Blessed, does not scoff, mock, plan or deceive. However, He, the Mighty and High, will punish them for scoffing, mockery, planning, and deception. Exalted is Allah, the Elevated, and the Great, from the words of the unjust.”
