قَالَ اَرَءَيۡتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِىۡ كَرَّمۡتَ عَلَىَّ لَٮِٕنۡ اَخَّرۡتَنِ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحۡتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلاً
(And Satan also said:) ‘Tell me, is it he You have exalted over me? (What is its reason after all?) If you grant me respite till the Day of Resurrection, I shall root out his children except a few of them (by bringing them under my control).’
