Continuation of the Tafsir of the statement of Allah the Exalted: “As for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, ‘Here, read my record!’”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : rejoicing in it. As for he who is given his record in his left hand, he is the opposite of that; he wishes he had not been given the book, let alone that others would look at it. As for the second verse mentioned by the author, it is the statement of Allah the Exalted:
Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? وأصحاب الميمنة ما أصحاب الميمنة
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:8]
meaning
And as for the companions of the left, what are the companions of the left? وأصحاب المشأمة ما أصحاب المشأمة
Allah the Exalted mentioned that people will be in three categories on the Day of Resurrection: the companions of the right, the companions of the left, and the forerunners. The forerunners are the near ones, the companions of the right are the saved, and the companions of the left are the perished. So they are three categories on the Day of Resurrection, and they are also three categories when the soul leaves the body. Allah mentioned their conditions on the Day of Resurrection in Surat al-Waqi'ah and mentioned their conditions at the time of death at the end of it, saying:
(83) Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat (84) And you are at that time looking on - (85) And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see - (86) Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed, (87) Bring it back, if you should be truthful? (88) And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah, (89) Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure. فلولا إذا بلغت الحلقوم وأنتم حينئذ تنظرون * ونحن أقرب إليه منكم ولكن لا تبصرون * فلولا إن كنتم غير مدينين * ترجعونها إن كنتم صادقين * فأما إن كان من المقربين * فروح وريحان وجنة نعيم
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:83-89]
The near ones are the forerunners who race to the good in every type of good.
(90) And if he was of the companions of the right, (91) Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right." (92) But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray, (93) Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water (94) And burning in Hellfire وأما إن كان من أصحاب اليمين * فسلام لك من أصحاب اليمين * وأما إن كان من المكذبين الضالين * فنزل من حميم * وتصلية جحيم
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:90-94]
And these are the companions of the left, may Allah protect us from them. They are the disbelievers and the misguided. May Allah protect us and you from their state. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) indicated in these two verses that the right-handers are the people of virtues always, not in this world or the Hereafter. The rest of the speech on this will come, if Allah wills.
