The Holy Quran 8:50 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۙ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

Translation

If only you could see how the angels (of death) take the souls of the Kuffaar, hitting their faces and backs saying, "Taste (a sample of) the punishment of the Blaze (the Fire of Jahannam)!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The state of the disbelievers at the time of death: that is, as they strike, [the angels] say: “Take this for now, and taste the punishment of Hell later.” Many mufassirs (commentators) have included this too among the events of Badr, that is, this is how the angels dealt with the disbelievers who were being killed at that time.
