Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Are there any authentic hadiths or interpretations of the verses that specify the number of angels with a human being?
Answer:
This is in the Qur'an, in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Qaf 50:18], a watcher who is ever present, one on the right and one on the left. (Glorified and Exalted is He) [Qaf 50:16-17], two recorders, angels [Qaf 50:17]. So the two guardian angels, one is on the right and one is on the left. This is in the Noble Qur'an. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Are there any authentic hadiths or interpretations of the verses that specify the number of angels with a human being?
Answer:
This is in the Qur'an, in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ(16) And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein (17) When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّيَانِon the right and on the left.
