39:42

اَللّٰهُ یَتَوَفَّى الْاَنْفُسَ حٖینَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتٖی لَمْ تَمُتْ فٖی مَنَامِهَاۚ فَیُمْسِكُ الَّتٖی قَضٰى عَلَیْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَیُرْسِلُ الْاُخْرٰٓى اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىؕ اِنَّ فٖی ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Allahu yatawaffa alanfusa heena mawtiha waallatee lam tamut fee manamiha fayumsiku allatee qada AAalayha almawta wayursilu alokhra ila ajalin musamman inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona

Translations

Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought

Saheeh International

Allah receiveth (men's) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought
