So, the companions of the right are those who are given their records in their right hands. And the companions of the left are those who are given them in their left hands. Or the companions of the high status and the companions of the low status, from your saying: So-and-so is from the right, and so-and-so is from the left: if you describe them as elevated in your sight and lowly. This is due to their good fortune with the right and their bad fortune with the left, and their optimism with the favorable omen and their superstition with the unfavorable omen. Therefore, the name for the right is derived from good fortune, and the left is called the ominous. It is said that the companions of the right and the companions of the left are the companions of good fortune and bad fortune, because the happy ones are fortunate for themselves through their obedience, and the miserable ones are unfortunate for themselves through their disobedience. It is said that the people of Paradise are taken to the right and the people of Hell to the left.
