Surah Az-Zumar (The Successive Groups), Verse 42

اَللّٰهُ یَتَوَفَّی الْاَنْفُسَ حِیْنَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِیْ لَمْ تَمُتْ فِیْ مَنَامِهَا فَیُمْسِكُ الَّتِیْ قَضٰی عَلَیْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَیُرْسِلُ الْاُخْرٰۤی اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Allaahu yatawaffal anfusa heena mawtihaa wallatee lam tamut fee manaamihaa fa yumsikul latee qadaa 'alaihal mawta wa yursilul ukhraaa ilaaa ajalim musammaa; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil liqawmai yatafakkarroon

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
