Delay of Six Hours--kiraman kathibeen‏

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The angel on the left holds up his pen (refrains from writing down) for six hours after a Muslim commits a sin. If the person regrets it and asks Allah for forgiveness, he casts it aside (does not write it down), otherwise he writes it down as one (sayi’ah).” [Mu’jam at-Tabaraani al-Kabeer]

Of the two angels with each person (Kiraaman Kaatibeen) the one on the right records the person’s good deeds while the angel on the left records his/her bad deeds.

Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) loves us so much that He hates to have negative entries made in our record of deeds. Thus, He (subhana wa ta’ala) has ordered the angel on the left to wait a period of six hours before recording any of our bad deeds.

If during this period we repent, regret the misdeed, and ask Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) for forgiveness, then that bad deed is cast aside and not included in our record. SubhanAllah!

This hadith can be found in the book of Shaykh Salih al-Munajjid called "I want to repent, but..." http://islamqa.com/en/ref/books/23

The (scribe) on the left hand raises his pen (i.e., delays writing) for six hours [this may refer to six hours of 60 minutes as measured by astronomers, or it may refer to short periods of time during the day or night – Lisaan al-‘Arab] before he records the sinful deed of a Muslim. If he regrets it and seeks Allaah’s forgiveness, the deed is not recorded, otherwise it is recorded as one deed.(Reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer and al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Eemaan (The Branches of Faith); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah, 1209).
