Question:
May Allah reward you. Another message has arrived from the questioner, Maha, from al-Qasim. She says: Honorable Shaykh, some people say that when a person sleeps, there is an angel to his right and a devil to his left. Is this correct? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for this. However, when a person sleeps, nothing is recorded against him. The pen is lifted for three categories, and the sleeping person is mentioned among them until he wakes up, so nothing is recorded against him while he is asleep.
