The Holy Quran 6:61 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةً حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ

Translation

He is Mighty (has control) over His bondsmen and sends guardians (angels) to you (some to protect you from calamities and others to record all your deeds) until the time comes when death overtakes any of you. Then Our messengers (the angels of death) extract his soul without neglect (without neglecting their duty).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, the angels who watch over you and your deeds. That is, the angels who are sent to take the souls. That is, whenever and however they are commanded to extract the soul, they show no leniency or negligence of any kind in it.
