Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
(And every man's augury) the scroll containing his answer to [the angels] Munkar and Nakir in the grave (have We fastened to his own neck) it is also said that this refers to every man's good and evil deeds; and it is also said that it refers to whether he is felicitous or damned, (and We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book which he will find) he will be given (wide open) containing his good and bad deeds.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
And We have attached every person’s omen — his deeds — for him to carry upon his neck — this site is singled out for mention because fastening something to it is much more severe; Mujāhid b. Jabr al-Makkī said ‘There is not a child born but it has a leaf around its neck in which it is decreed that the child will be either fortunate or damned’ — and We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book in which his deeds are recorded and which he will find wide open yalqāhu manshūran both are adjectival qualifications of kitāban ‘a book’.
