A Note on a Common Saying: “May Allah place that in the scale of your deeds”

The Shaykh : Here I point out an issue that some people have been saying frequently lately, which is to say: “May Allah place that in the scale of your deeds.” It is better to say, “May Allah place that in the scale of your good deeds,” because the scale of deeds includes both sins and good deeds. If one says “in the scale of your deeds,” I do not know; in any case, he intends the scale of good deeds, without a doubt. However, the wording is acceptable, so it is better that we move away from this wording to one that does not allow for ambiguity: “in the scale of your good deeds.” Yes.
