Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Said he ‘Do You see — in other words inform me this one whom You have honoured whom You have preferred above me? by commanding that prostration should be made before him when ‘I am better than him. You created me from fire while him You created from clay’ Q. 712. If la-in the lām is for oaths You defer me to the Day of Resurrection I shall verily eradicate his seed by leading them astray all save a few’ of them of those whom You have given divine protection.

(He said: Seet Thou this (creature) whom Thou hast honoured above me) by means of this prostration, (if Thou give me grace) if you reprieve me (until the Day of Resurrection I verily will seize) I will cause to slip, overpower and dominate (his seed, save but a few) who are protected from me.
