The encountering angels in the Koran

The encountering (angels) who are supposed to record human deeds are mentioned in the Koran:

1. We have created man and know what is soul is whispering within him. We are closer to him than his jugular vein! When both encountering (angels) meet, seated to the right and to the left, he will utter no statement unless he has an observer on hand ready to note it down. The agony of death will come [and confronts you] with the truth, that is what you have been trying to escape! The trumpet shall be blown: that will be the day of the threat Every soul shall come along , each will have a driver and a witness  , you have been so heedless  of this , that we have removed your blinders from you so sight may be keen today! (50:16-22)
2. Yet over you (all) there stand some noble guardians, writing it all down, they know anything you do. The virtuous shall be in bliss. (82:10-13)
