Is it correct that when the sinners see the angels distributing the records, they raise their right hands and place their left hands behind their backs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it true that when the sinners see the angels distributing the records, they raise their right hands and place their left hands behind their backs, so the angels give them the records from behind their backs? And that this is the statement of the Exalted:
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
[Al-Inshiqaq 84:10]


The Shaykh:
By Allah, I have not seen this. I do not know. I do not know about this. I am afraid it is fabricated. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, and only, um.

The Shaykh:
If a person describes a matter for which there is no valid evidence from the Book and the Sunnah, he is merely imagining it. No, this does not exist. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Allah informed that the disbeliever is given his book in his left hand, and He informed that he is given his book from behind his back. Combining the two verses, he is given his book in his left hand from behind his back, as a humiliation for him. Now, there is a sect that cuts off the right hands of the deceased. They say, so that he does not receive [his book] in [his left hand], they cut off the left hand of the deceased. They say that on the Day of Resurrection he will not have a left hand, so he will be forced to receive his book with his right hand. They say this, and it is a well-known sect now. Meaning, Allah is unable to restore the left hand that was cut off.
