Do the angels record the idle talk of human beings?

Question : And do they record the idle talk that comes from him?

Answer : That is, what is neither good nor bad. There are two opinions among the scholars. Some said that they record it, but the person is not held accountable for it. Others said that they do not record it because it is idle talk, and recording idle talk is itself idle talk. These noble and generous angels are perfect in their attributes, and one who is perfect in attributes does not do what is idle. But if someone were to ask, is there any idle talk in speech? If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, , and if he remains silent, nothing is recorded against him, and if he speaks, he speaks good or he speaks evil. However, what appears is that there is idle talk, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: This encompasses both verbal idle talk and physical idle talk. So it appears that idle talk exists, but regarding whether it is recorded or not, there is some hesitation: do they record it or not?
If we look at the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: , and the fact that it is an indefinite noun in a context of negation, which is an indefinite noun emphasized by the negation, we say that everything is written, but the writing does not necessarily entail being held accountable for it; it is written, but one is not held accountable for it because it is mere speech. If we look at the fact that the idle talk for which a person is not held accountable, its writing is idle, we say it is not written. It is also possible that the generality in His saying "of any speech" is intended to mean the specific, namely , for which he is rewarded or punished . In any case, a person must be cautious and careful, and not say a word unless he knows whether it is for him or against him. If it is for him, let him praise Allah for that, and if it is against him, let him not blame anyone but himself. A person should strive to do this.
