The Holy Quran 3:185 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۖ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ۗ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ

Translation

Every soul shall taste death and it is only on the Day of Qiyaamah that you will be given your rewards in full (although partial rewards are received in this world and in the grave). Whoever is saved from the Fire (of Jahannam) and entered into Jannah shall truly be successful. The life of this world is merely an enjoyment (place, wealth) of deception (because after a limited period of enjoyment, it will come to an end).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, everyone must taste death, and after it, on the Day of Resurrection, every liar and truthful one, every affirmer and denier, will surely receive the full recompense of what he did. “In full” means that some small part may possibly be received before the Day of Resurrection, for example in this world or in the grave.
