'''Aṣḥāb al-yamīn''' (Arabic: {{ia|أصْحاب الیَمین}}) or '''aṣḥāb al-maymana''' (Arabic: {{ia|أصْحاب المَیْمَنَة}}) or '''people of the right hand''' are people who receive the [[Record of Actions|records]] of their actions with their right hand and go to the [[Heaven]]. In the [[Qur'an]], they are contrasted to [[ashab al-shimal]] (people of the left hand). According to Quranic verses, people of the right hand are characterized by their belief in God, their certainty in the judgment of the [[resurrection]], feeding the orphans and people in need, and emancipating the slaves. According to some Shiite [[hadiths]], "al-yamin" (the right hand) refers to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], and "ashab al-yamin" refers to his followers. | '''Aṣḥāb al-yamīn''' (Arabic: {{ia|أصْحاب الیَمین}}) or '''aṣḥāb al-maymana''' (Arabic: {{ia|أصْحاب المَیْمَنَة}}) or '''people of the right hand''' are people who receive the [[Record of Actions|records]] of their actions with their right hand and go to the [[Heaven]].
