19فَأَمّا مَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ بِيَمينِهِ فَيَقولُ هاؤُمُ اقرَءوا كِتابِيَهMuhammad AsadNow as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,1 he will exclaim: "Come you all!" Read this my record!I.e., ",whose record shows that he was righteous in his life on earth: cf. 17:71, as well as the symbolic expression "those on the right hand" in 74:39. The linguistic origin of the symbolism of "right" and "left" as "righteous" and "unrighteous" is explained in note 3 on 56:8-9.
