Tafsir
And the Book shall be set in place the Book of every man — in his right hand if he is from among the believers and in his left hand if he is from among the disbelievers. And you will see the guilty the disbelievers apprehensive fearful of what is in it and they will say when they observe the evil deeds recorded in it ‘O yā is for exclamation woe to us! O this is our destruction! this form waylatanā is a verbal noun but in this form it cannot be conjugated as a verb What is it with this Book that it leaves out neither small nor great from among our sins but instead it has counted it?’ enumerated it and fixed it in the record — they are stupefied by it in this respect. And they shall find all that they did present fixed in writing in their individual Book. And your Lord does not wrong anyone He does not punish him if he is without guilt nor does He diminish anything of the reward of a believer.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And the Book is placed) on people's right and left hands; the scrolls fell on people's hands like snow flakes, (and thou seest the guilty) the idolaters and the hypocrites (fearful of that which is therein) in the Book, (and they say: What Kind of a book is this that leaveth not a small thing) of our deeds (nor a great thing) it is said that the small thing is a smile and the great thing is laughter (but has counted it) except that it is preserved and written down! (And they find all that they did) of good or evil (confronting them) written down, (and thy Lord wrongeth no one) He does not decrease the good deeds of anyone nor increase the evil deeds of anyone; it is also said that this means: He does not diminish the good deeds of the believer nor leave the evil deeds of the unbeliever.
