Hadith 5151 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: لَمّا نَزَلَت هذِهِ الآيَةُ: (إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ) قُلْتُ: يا رَبِّ اَيَمُوتُ الخَلائِقُ كُلُّهُم وَيَبقَى المَلائِكَةُ؟ فَنَزَلَت (كلُّ نَفسِ ذائِقَةُ المَوتِ ثُمَّ إِلَينا ترجَعُونَ).
31-51 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “When the following verse was revealed, ‘Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).’ I asked, O Lord! Will all the people die and the angels survive?” Then the following verse was revealed, ‘Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end. To Us shall ye be brought back.’
