6.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from ʿĀṣim ibn Ḥamīd, from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbdillāh who said regarding the verse in which Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: As the two receivers receive, [one] sitting to the right and [the other] to the left (Q50:17), “They are the two angels [who record the deeds].” [Then the narrator said,] “And I asked him about the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: Here is what is ready with me [of the record] (Q50:23), so he said, ‘It is the angel who preserves [and records] his deeds for him.’ And I asked him about the verse wherein Allah, to Whom belong might and majesty, says: His [evil] companion will say, ‘Our Lord, I did not make him transgress…’ (Q50:27), and he said, ‘He (the evil companion) is Satan.’”
