Tafsir of 79:3

"These are the angels who remove the souls from the Children of Adam." Among them are those whose souls are removed by the angels with difficulty, as if he is being drowned during its removal.

This is the meaning of Allah's statement, وَالنَّشِطَتِ نَشْطاً (By those who free briskly.) This has been mentioned by Ibn `Abbas. In reference to Allah's statement, وَالسَّبِحَتِ سَبْحاً (And by the swimmers, swimming.) Ibn Mas`ud said, "They are the angels." Similar statements have been reported from `Ali, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, and Abu Salih.…
