The reason for not describing Allah with deception, stratagem, or weariness in an absolute sense

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks, saying: The attributes of deception, stratagem, weariness, and other such attributes, what is the reason for not describing Allah the Exalted with them?

Answer:
Allah is described with them because they are mentioned in the Qur'an, but they are not the same in His case as they are in the case of the created beings. In the case of the created beings, they are blameworthy because they are injustice and aggression, whereas in the case of Allah, they are justice and retribution, and He is praised for them (Glorified and Exalted is He).
