Transliteration:( Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen )
59. The inmates of Paradise will ask the question to the angels at the time when they would be seeing death being slaughtered in the form of a sheep. A declaration would be made that from now on there will be eternal life. From now on no one will experience death.This question, too, would not be for the sake of interrogation, but would be a joyous one, for increasing the happiness.

Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 50 which provides the complete commentary from verse 50 through 61.
(37:59) except for our first death? And shall we suffer no chastisement?'”[33]
33. The style clearly shows that while speaking to his friend in Hell, the dweller of Paradise suddenly starts talking to himself. He speaks these three sentences in a way as if he found himself in a state much better than that he ever expected and imagined for himself, and now being beside himself with wonder and joy he is engaged in a sort of soliloquy. In such a state the speaker does not speak to an addressee, nor the questions he asks are meant to find out something from somebody, but in this state the man’s own feelings find expression through his tongue. The dweller of Paradise, while speaking to the dweller of Hell, suddenly starts feeling how he has been favored by good fortune: now there is neither death nor any torment: all troubles and distresses have come to an end and he has been blessed with immortality. Under this very feeling he exclaims: Well are we not to die any other than our first death? Are we not to be punished?
