Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And every soul will come with a driver and a witness)]

Then Allah the Exalted said:
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ
[Q:21] :-
And every soul will comeوَجَاءَتْ
Meaning: the Day of Resurrection.
every soulكُلُّ نَفْسٍ
That is: every human being, and every person,And it is possible that the meaning is: every soul from among the children of Adam and from the jinn as well, from those who are bound by the laws;Because if we look at the context, which is His saying:
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular veinوَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
[Q:16] We said: The intended meaning of "soul" here is the soul of a human being. And if we look at the fact that the laws bind the jinn just as they bind the humans, and that the jinn will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, and their believers will enter Paradise and their disbelievers the Fire, we said: that this is general, and Allah knows best what He intended.
with it a driverمَعَهَا سَائِقٌ
drives it.
And a witnessوَشَهِيدٌ
testifies against it regarding what it did; because these angels, peace be upon them, have been entrusted with recording the deeds of the children of Adam, of good and evil. And as mentioned previously, they record everything of good, evil, and idle talk, but a person is not held accountable except for the good or the evil.
