Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrih (surah Inshiqaq: 10)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(84:10) But he who is given the Record behind his back, *8

Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraaa`a zahrih

*8) In Surah Al Haaqqah: 25, it was said that his record will be given him in his left hand but here "behind his back. ! This will probably be for the reason that he would already have lost aII hope that he would be given his record in his right hand, for he would be well aware of his misdeeds and sure to receive his record in his left hand. However, in order to avoid the humiliation of receiving it iu the left hand, in front of all mankind, he will withdraw his hand behind and so would receive it 'behind his back."
