The reconciliation between the two is that the servant will take his book with his left hand from behind his back. The recompense is of the same nature as the deed. So, just as he cast aside the Book of Allah behind his back, he will be given his book on the Day of Resurrection from behind his back, as a just and fitting recompense.
