حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن أحمد بن يونس المعاذي، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد الكوفي الهمداني، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسنفضال، عن أبيه، قال: سألت الرضا علي بن موسى عليهما السلام عن قول الله عز وجل " كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون " فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا يوصف بمكان يحل فيه فيحجب عنه فيه عباده، ولكنه عز وجل يعني أنهم عن ثواب ربهم محجوبون. وسألته عن قول الله عز و جل " وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا " فقال: إن الله عز وجل لا يوصف بالمجئ و الذهاب، تعالى عن الانتقال، إنما يعني بذلك: وجاء أمر ربك والملك صفا صفا. و سألته عن قول الله عز وجل: " هل ينظرون إلا أن يأتيهم الله في ظلل من الغمام والملائكة " قال: يقول: هل ينظرون إلا أن يأتيهم الله بالملائكة في ظلل من الغمام، وهكذا نزلت وسألته عن قول الله عز وجل: " سخر الله منهم " وعن قوله: " الله يستهزئ بهم " وعن قوله: " ومكروا ومكر الله (٦) " وعن قوله: " يخادعون الله وهو خادعهم " فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا يسخر ولا يستهزئ ولا يمكر ولا يخادع ولكن الله عز وجل: يجازيهم جزاء السخرية وجزاء الاستهزاء وجزاء المكر وجزاء الخديعة تعالى الله عما يقول الظالمون علوا كبيرا.
3.	We were told by Muhammed bin Ibrahim bin Ahmad bin Yunus al-Mu’adhi, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Sa’eed al-Kufi al-Hamdani, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Hasan bin Faddal, from his father, that he said: I asked al-Rida, Ali bin Musa, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «No! Verily, they are, from their Lord, on that Day, indeed, obstructed» (83:15) to which he said: Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, is not characterized by a place in which He is embodied and in which His servants will be obstructed from Him, however, He, Exalted and Glorious is He, means that they will be, from the reward of their Lord, obstructed. Also, I asked him about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And your Lord came, and the Angels, rows after rows» (89:23) to which he said: Indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, is not characterized by coming and going. Exalted is He above movement. He only means by that: And the commandment of your Lord came, and the Angels, rows after rows. Also, I asked him about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Do they wait but that Allah will come to them in shadows of clouds, and so the Angels» (2:210). He said: He says: «Do they wait but that Allah will bring to them Angels in shadows of clouds.» [1] This is how it was revealed. Also, I asked him about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Allah ridiculed them» (9:78) and about His saying: «Allah derides them» (2:15) and about His saying: «And they plotted, and Allah plotted» (3:54) and about His saying: «They attempt to deceive Allah, whilst He deceives them» (4:142) to which he said: Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, does not ridicule, nor mock, nor plot, nor deceive, however, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, will reward them with the reward of ridiculing, and the reward of mocking, and the reward of plotting, and the reward of deception. Exalted is Allah above what the wrongdoers say, a Great Highness.
