Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is narrated in a hadith, and I do not know its degree of authenticity, that the disbeliever knows that he will be given his book in his left hand, so he hides his hand behind his back, or so that Allah the Exalted does not see it, and thus he is given his book behind his back. Is this correct?
Answer:
It is mentioned in the Qur'an[Al-Inshiqaq 84:10] But we interpret it as him hiding his hand behind his back. We do not know; this is what we do not know. We do not attribute to Allah what we do not know.
