The analysis above refers to the eleventh verse of chapter 13 (sūrat l-raʿd):

Sahih International: For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.

Is (13:11:2) مُعَقِّبَاتٌ masculine plural or feminine plural? All signs appears to of feminine?

The form of the word here is feminine plural, but in fact they are masculine rational beings as can be seen from the reference to them in 13:11:8 using the 3rd person masculine plural imperfect verb.
