The Holy Quran 56:8 — Surah Al-Waqi'ah

Arabic text

فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ

Translation

So (the first group are) the people of the right (the sincere Mu'mineen); how excellent are the people of the right! (They are referred to as the "people of the right" because they will receive the record of their actions in their right hands, indicating their entry into Jannah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The people of the right and the people of the left: that is, those who will be on the right side of the Mighty Throne, and who, at the time the covenant was taken, were brought out from the right side of Adam ﵇. Their record of deeds too will be given into their right hand, and the angels too will receive them from the right side.
