each person has guardian angels before him and behind, watching over him by God’s command. God does not change the condition of a people [for the worse] unless they change what is in themselves, but if He wills harm on a people, no one can ward it off–– apart from Him, they have no protector
Sahl al-Tustari

For him are attendants (muʿaqqibāt) in front of him and behind him, guarding him by God�s command�The meaning of muʿaqqibāt is the angels of the night and day, which come one after the other in succession. Guarding him by God�s command�, that is, [preserving] all the good and evil things that He has determined for His servant. Furthermore, they bear witness for [the servant] with fidelity (wafāʾ), and against him with severity (jafāʾ) on the Day of Resurrection.His words, Exalted is He:

Sahl al-Tustari

It is He that shows you the lightning [inspiring] fear and hope�He [Sahl] said:The following saying is related from Ibn ʿAbbās y: �Thunder is an angel and it is his voice that you hear. As for the lightning, it is a whip of light by which the angel drives the clouds.� Mujāhid also said this. It is reported that ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib said: �Lightning is that with which the angels drive [the clouds] (makhārīq), and thunder is the voice of an angel.� Qatāda said: �Thunder is the sound of the clouds.�His words, Exalted is He:

the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans
Sahl al-Tustari

And the thunder proclaims His praise, and so too the angels are in awe of Him�Thus does He make special mention of the angels. ʿIkrima said: �Thunder is an angel who has been put in charge of the clouds; he drives them along just as a camel herder would do his camels.�Kaʿb reported from ʿUmar that he said, �I heard the Messenger of God say: �Truly, God creates clouds so they speak with the most excellent speech and laugh with a most excellent laugh. Their speech is thunder and their laughter is lightning.�� Abū Bakr said that he asked him , �What would you say regarding a day on which there is a heavy downpour and the sound of the thunder is violent?� He replied, �This is a report of God�s good pleasure (riḍā), Mighty and Majestic is He, so how must be the report of His wrath (ghaḍab). Let us seek refuge in God from His wrath.�His words, Exalted is He:

those who have faith and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of God- truly it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find peace
Sahl al-Tustari

�Truly, it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find peace.[In] remembrance (dhikr) with knowledge (ʿilm) there is tranquil repose (sukūn), and [in] remembrance with intellect (ʿaql) there is profound peace (ṭumaʾnīna). He [Sahl] was asked, �And how is that?� He replied:If a servant is maintaining [true] obedience to God, he will be in a state of remembrance (dhākir), but when something occurs to his mind, he will be in a state of severance (qāṭiʿ) [from God]. If he is involved in an act [motivated by] his lower self, and something comes to his heart which guides him to remembrance and obedience, this is the role played by the intellect (mawḍiʿ al-ʿaql).Then he said:Anyone who claims to practise remembrance falls into one of two types. There are those whom the fear of God, Mighty and Majestic is He, never leaves, but who also experience love (ḥubb) and fervour (nashāṭ) in their hearts. They are truly people of remembrance and they live for God, the Hereafter, knowledge and the Sunna. Then there are those who claim to be in a state of fervour, joy and happiness in every situation. They are living for the enemy, this world, ignorance, and innovation and they are the worst of people.His words, Exalted is He:

By commentator who cites how many verses on this ayah

Note: these connections are extracted from numeric S:A references inside the commentary text and are therefore biased toward mufassirun who use that notation. Prose-style references (e.g. "Surat al-Baqarah verse 30") will be added later, which should surface additional multi-source consensus.
