Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “For on his right is an angel, but on his left…,” how do we reconcile this with the hadiths that mention that there is an angel on the right and an angel on the left?
Answer:
The one on the left records the sins. And Allah knows best that in prayer, he leaves the servant, because there are no sins in prayer.
