How can one reconcile texts that seem to contain mockery of religion—such as the supplication of the Companion who did not skillfully chant the Prophet's (ﷺ) melody, and Mu'adh's jesting with a Bedouin about the cultivation of the people of Paradise, and the revelation of the verse "Say: 'Was it at Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?'" concerning some Companions—with the reality that mockery of religion nullifies Islam? And do the aforementioned examples of daily jesting and comments fall under the category of mockery that nullifies Islam?

It is not permissible to accuse the two Companions of mockery, for the Companions are above such acts, and to think ill of them is a blameworthy whisper [from Satan]. The Prophet’s laughter – peace and blessings be upon him – at the first Companion was not a mockery of the Sharia (definition), for the Companion did not express his understanding of the supplication of the Prophet and Mu'adh well, and the Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – clarified to him that their supplication revolved around asking for Paradise and seeking refuge from Hellfire. As for his laughter at the Bedouin Companion, it was due to his spontaneity and complete belief in the news without intending to mock. One must fear Allah and abandon these whispers, for there is nothing in the words of the two Companions that necessitates disbelief, but it is preferable to avoid using the Quran out of its proper context.
