والنازعات غرقا
By those who pull out, drowning. "These are the angels who remove the souls from the Children of Adam.''

There are those people whose souls the angels remove with ease, as if they were unraveling him (i.e., his soul from him) due to their briskness. This is the meaning of Allah's statement,
