Commentary on Quran 50:17
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 50:17] Two angels are constantly with every human being to note his or her thoughts, words and actions. One sits on the right side and records good deeds and the other on the left, to record bad deeds, corresponding to the people of the right and the people of the left mentioned in Waqi-ah: 27 and 41. Every thought, word and action is recorded by the recording angels. The angels' record is complete.
