The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes. All right.
The reader: "His statement:
as there is an angel فإن عن يمينه ملكا
Sahih al-Bukhari 416
It has been mentioned that its apparent meaning is that it is specific to the state of prayer. If we say that the angel referred to is the recording angel, then it is difficult to reconcile its restriction to the prohibition with the fact that there is another angel on his left. The answer given is that it is possible that this is specific to the angel on the right, as an honor and distinction for him. This is what a group of the early scholars said, and what is in it is not hidden. Some of the later scholars answered that prayer is among the bodily good deeds, so the recorder of bad deeds has no part in it. This is supported by what Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated from the mawquf hadith of Hudhayfah in this hadith, where he said: 'And not on his right, for on his right is the writer'


The Shaykh : The writer
The reader: " * The writer of good deeds *. And in al-Tabarani, from the hadith of Abu Umamah in this hadith:
For he stands between the hands of Allah, and his angel is on his right فإنه يقوم بين يدي الله وملكه عن يمينه
"


The Shaykh : His angel.
The reader: "
And his angel is on his right, and his companion is on his left وملكه عن يمينه وقرينه عن يساره
So the spitting at that time falls only on the companion, which is Satan. Perhaps the angel on the left at that time is in a position where nothing of that reaches him, or that he moves to the right during the prayer "
. And Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : And Allah knows best. In any case, with such issues, safety lies in saying what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and not adding to it. We say: 'On his right is an angel' and he was silent about the left, so we are silent.
