Captions available
The idea
He reasons that a man killed at prayer goes to heaven, so killing Claudius now would send his father's murderer to heaven while his father suffers. He calls this a thing that would be scanned, meaning examined closely. Then he leaves.
In practice
Killing him now would reward him.
Where people slip
Scanned means examined.
