The answer

Allah is capable of informing the angels of what is in the human soul, just as Sufyan ibn Uyaynah said that the angel smells a good scent for a good deed and a foul scent for a bad deed. Allah is also capable of informing some humans of what is in a person's heart, and the angel assigned to the servant is more deserving that Allah should make him aware of this. The angels cast thoughts into the servant's soul, and Allah has assigned to every human a companion from the angels and a companion from the jinn. So, if the evil deed that a servant intends to commit is from the instigation of Satan, then Satan knows about it. And if the good deed that a servant intends to commit is from the instigation of the angel, then the angel knows about it. This enables the guardian angels to know the deeds of the children of Adam.
