Translation
(6:61) And He alone holds sway over His servants and sets guardians over you40 till death approaches any of you and Our deputed angels take his soul, neglecting no part of their task. (6:62) Then all are restored to Allah, their true protector. Behold, His is the judgement. He is the swiftest of those who take account.'

Commentary

40. The angels who keep watch and maintain a record of everything, i.e. all their movements, deeds and so on.
